Best Practice

The easiest way to create a consistent structure for your course is to build one Learning Module or Folder with all of the components that you want to have in each module/unit (e.g., an overview document, sub-folders for readings or assessments, placeholder for discussion) and then copy that for each module/unit. The ability to duplicate an item within a course makes this much easier!

Also, we recommend creating most of your course by uploading files or copying and pasting from your course in Original Course View. However, the ability to copy individual items makes it easy to reuse things that would be time consuming to rebuild, like Tests.
