Changing the Order of the Modules

Delete a Module

  1. In the table of contents view, click with your mouse and hold on the downward arrow to the right of the module name.
  2. Choose Delete Module
  3. Use the default setting: Remove the module and all nested modules and topics from Content but keep all associated files and activities in the course.
