You can create a Learning Unit
within any of the Content Areas. A Learning Unit is an organized collection
of content that provides students with a structured learning path.
A Unit can contain
documents, assignments, media files, website links, quizzes, and surveys. A Unit can be set to open in a new window to signify its distinct learning modules. Any Unit can also be set for viewing either in sequential
order, or set to allow students to move through items in any order.
