Learning Modules

What is a learning module?

  1. It is a container that can be expanded or collapsed, showing or hiding its content items.
  2. Content items appear as a list within the learning module.

A Blackboard learning module showing the expand/collapse caret button, and the list of content items when expanded.

  • They are usually used when the instructor recommends completing the content in a specific order, however the order is not forced by default.
  • Navigation arrows allow you to move to the next item listed without needing to close the current item and open the next one.

The header of an open content item, showing the left arrow to navigate to the previous item and the right arrow to navigate to the next item.

Forced sequencing enabled

  • Items within the learning module must be completed in the order listed, locking all items until the one before it has been completed.
  • Each item within the learning module has a status icon in a circle.
    • An empty circle means that you haven't started the content.
    • A partially filled black circle means the content is in progress.
    • A green circle with a check mark means that content is complete.
    • A lock icon means that you do not meet the conditions to access the content yet.

A list of content items in a learning module with three status symbols shown: a green checkmark in a circle for complete, a partially filled black circle for in progress and a lock icon for an item that is not yet accessible.

Progress tracking enabled

  • Learning modules that are complete are marked with a green checkmark and "Completed".
  • Learning modules that have not been started have a "Start" and arrow button.
  • Learning modules that are in progress have two identifiers:
    • A "Continue" and arrow button
    • A progress bar indicates the number of items in that module that have been completed compared to the total number of items in that module.

Three learning modules with tracking statuses shown: "Completed" with a green checkmark in a circle for completed modules, a "Continue" with an arrow as well as a status bar for in progress modules, and a "Start" with an arrow for modules that have yet to be started.
