Modules can be customized with additional content in a drop-down menu. Creators can build an unlimited number of modules with an unlimited number of lessons attached. The module is intended to give the students an overview of what lessons they can find inside. Lessons inside each module can contain text, video, or both. Entirely up to the creator.
