Organization is 🔑!

Organizing your Modules in a course can be tricky. I prefer to organize modules chronologically with a new Module for each week. If you don't post a ton of content, thematic or unit-based modules may be your go-to. Either way, Modules are one of the most integral parts to using Canvas!
