Benefits of changing a folder to a learning module include:
- Thumbnail Images: Learning modules come with thumbnail images, which provide a visually appealing course experience.
- Forced Sequencing: Instructors can force students to navigate learning modules in linear paths so they cannot move on to the next module without finishing the tasks in the previous module.
- Progress Bar: Learning modules have a progress bar for students that highlights the number of items that they need to complete and their progression on those items.
- Previous and Next Navigation: Students can quickly navigate to the next or previous item in a learning module.
