Add and organize modules and lessons

In this article: How to open the Modules & Lessons outline and use it to add, reorder, hide, copy, and manage the structure of your course. All Plans

Before You Start

The Modules & Lessons outline is your course's table of contents. It shows every module and lesson at a glance and gives you tools to reorganize, hide, or duplicate content. If you haven't created your course content yet, start with Create your course content first.

Open the Modules & Lessons Outline

Open your course and press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to open the Manage Course menu.
Click Modules & Lessons in the Content column.

You'll see your full course outline with all modules and their lessons listed in order.

How Modules and Lessons Work Together

Modules are containers. They group related lessons together and give your course a clear structure, like chapters in a book or weeks in a program. Modules don't hold content themselves.

Lessons are where your content lives. Text, video, audio, downloadable files, discussion prompts, assignments — everything goes inside lessons. Each lesson focuses on a single task, and students mark lessons as complete as they work through your course.

There's no limit to how many modules or lessons you can create. That said, keep your students in mind. They're fitting your coursework around everything else in their lives. Focused, manageable lessons lead to better completion rates.

Tip: Add a short welcome lesson as the first item in your first module. A quick "here's how to navigate this course" note helps students feel confident from the start. See Add a "How to Navigate This Course" lesson for a ready-made template.

Reorder Modules and Lessons

Drag and drop modules in the outline to change their order. Students see modules in the order you set here.

You can also drag lessons within a module to reorder them, or drag a lesson from one module into another.

Hide a Module from Students

Click the module title (shown in blue) in the outline.
Toggle the module to Hidden.

Hidden modules won't appear in the student view. Use this when you're still building content or want to hold a module back until you're ready. Toggle it back to visible when you want students to see it.

Copy a Module to Another Course

Click the module title in the outline.
Click Copy module.
Select the destination course from the list.

All lessons inside the module are copied along with it. The original module stays in place.

Edit a Module Title

Click the module title (in blue) in the outline. Change the name and click Save.

Tip: Name modules from your student's perspective. "Week 1: Finding Your Style" works better than "Module 1: Introduction." Students should know what they'll get out of each section before they start it.
