Now that you have your course modules, the next step is to decide what topics will go into each module.

For example, in our example Sustainable Thinking course, Module 4: Sustainable Living might cover the following topics:

• Clothing
• Products and Services
• Plastic Packaging and Rubbish
• Water and Electricity Consumption
• Calculate your ecological footprint

 Each of these topics within the module would then be fleshed out with relevant content, resources and activities.

How to create and edit pages in OpenLearning

Step 1

Go to Course Setup > Content

Step 2

Scroll down to the module you would like to create or add a page in

Each page that is created is visible to students from the Learning Activities tab.

Once you have created your page, it's important to add a page thumbnail, otherwise your course will look like it is still a work in progress.
