Adding a Module Overview Page Using the Template

Each module in online and hybrid 8-week model courses must have a module overview page. These pages will be locked down when the model course blueprint is pushed to the live courses each term. Locked down items cannot be edited by the instructor of record who receives the blueprint, which is why the Template Module Overview Page in the 8-Week DEV Model includes only the module overview, related student learning outcomes, and module objectives. While you are not required to use this template, we encourage you NOT to include information on learning materials, assignments, assessments, and due dates on model course module overview pages because the instructor cannot update them if they change any of those things.
