    Sensei Modules Overview

    Sensei Modules adds an additional level of organization to your Sensei content between Courses and Lessons. A Course can contain any number of Modules, and each Lesson can be assigned to a single Module within that Course.

    Note: Modules are only provided for organizational purposes; they don’t contain any content other than an optional text description.

    Adding Modules

    To add a Module:

    1. Go to Courses > Modules.
    2. Under Add New Module, give the Module a Name.
    3. Under Course(s), search for and select one or more Courses that will use this Module.

    If you prefer, you can leave the Course(s) field blank and assign modules to courses later from the course edit screen.

    Note: Modules can be used by multiple Courses. e.g., You may have a piano course and a guitar course, both of which use the Basics module. The Module is a container for a group of lessons in each course, so the lessons in the Module are unique to each course.

    Adding Modules from within a Course

    Alternatively, you can add Modules from within a Course Edit page when creating/editing a Course.

    1. Go to Courses > All Courses.
    2. Click Add New, or edit an existing Course. You will see a Modules panel in the sidebar.
    3. Select any existing Modules you want to add to this Course.
    4. And/or click Add New Module, enter a Module name, and click the Add New Modulebutton.

    1. Go to Lessons > All Lessons, and edit the Lesson in question. You will see a newLesson Module panel in the sidebar, listing all the Modules available in this Course.
    2. Select the Module you want to assign this Lesson to.
    3. Update the Lesson.

    Module Display

    If a Course contains Modules, they will be displayed on the Single Course page, under the Modules heading, with each Module displaying a link to the Single Module page, and a list of links to the Lessons within that Module.
