How do I create a course module and add content in Brightspace?

Create A Course Module

1. From the course navigation bar, click Content.
   
2. Scroll down and click the Add a Module box from the menu on the left. A module can be thought of as a folder.  Type in the name of your module (i.e. Week 1, Unit 1, etc.) and press Enter to save. You will be brought into the module.
   
3. To reorder modules, from the menu on the left, click on the eight dots to the left of the module’s name and drag the module to the desired location.
