3. Understanding course pages

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
The topics within a module would become Pages in OpenLearning. Pages are containers that allow you to add and arrange content, media, and activities. They are the main building blocks of courses.

Step 1
Go to Course Setup > Content

How to add a page thumbnail
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.
