When a module is added to a course, it is populated with three template pages: Introduction, Overview, and Summary. Manage Module page, showing Introduction, Overview, and Summary pages
The Overview page consists of three sections:

Objectives
Activities
Resources

Objectives

Add or edit objectives on the page. Blocks with a red, dotted line indicate that the page is in Edit mode.

Activities

The Activities table and total estimated time are dynamically generated as content editors populate the Minutes and Assignments fields for each page. The table lists pages in sequential order and updates automatically if content is reordered. If a module contains no assignments, the Assignments column will not appear. The total estimated time reflects the sum of estimated times across all pages in the module.

Activities page in edit mode - cannot be edited Note: The Activities table is automatically generated and not editable.

The Activities table updates automatically when data is entered in a page's Minutes: and Assignments: fields.

Resources

The Resources section allows content creators to include supplemental files and materials that learners may need to succeed in this course.
