Course Content
Courses in eLC are organized using the Content Tool. Instructors add documents, videos, forms, and links to other tools in Modules.
Accessing Course Content
1. Instructors add documents, videos, links, and more to courses within eLC to share with students. This information is found by using the Content Tool. To access your course content, click on the Content menu item in the Navigation Bar.
2. This will bring you to the main page of the course. On the left of the page are the Modules that create the course's organization. In the example below, Two Modules and three Sub-Modules are outlined in red. The number seen next to the Module's name indicates how many Unread files are left in this Module. The check mark notes that the student has opened all documents in the Sub-Module. The instructor in this example course has organized the modules by topic; another common method of organization is by date.
3. To examine course material or instructor messages in Content, click on one of the Modules or one of the Sub-Modules.

To access a document that has been uploaded into a module, click on the name of the document or click on the drop-down arrow next to the name. The drop-down arrow allows you to view documents (View Topic), add one document to your Binder (Open in Binder), and Download the Document (Download).
