Managing modules in an online learning platform helps keep the course content organized and easy to follow. A module is a part of the course that covers a specific topic. It can include videos, quizzes, assignments, readings, and discussions to help learners understand the subject.
By managing these modules well, learners can move through the course at a steady pace, and trainers can track how learners are doing. It also makes it easier to update the content and improves the overall experience for both learners and trainers. When modules are managed well, it keeps the course simple to navigate and helps learners stay engaged.
