Modules

New release July 2009. The latest version of Modules (Melete 2.6) has been available from 2 July 2009.

New features - click here to open a document listing all the new features.

The Modules tool is a lesson builder tool that allows authors to publish learning sequences that can be created by using a choice of built-in online editors, by linking to web pages, or by uploading learning objects or documents of various formats. It is not to be confused with, nor intended to be a replacement for, modules used in distance education packages.

Content is created in Modules and Sections, and can contain embedded multimedia files or links to multimedia resources. Content is easily editable using the standard or mathematical equation editor.

Modules can easily be exported as zip files to import into other sites, or to save to a backup location.
