When and why should you consider using the Content tool?

The Content tool enables instructors to post and organize course content so that the course syllabus, lecture notes, important dates, and information about course expectations display to users clearly.

Course materials you post in Content can include documents, images, media files, URL links, and activities (e.g. discussions, quizzes, surveys, self assessments, and Dropbox folders). You can add release conditions, grade items, and learning objectives for topics to ensure users navigate through course materials while fulfilling specific course requirements and learning expectations.

You can also monitor class and user progress as students work through course content. Completion tracking allows instructors to determine how content topics are set as “complete” (set automatically by the system or manually by the student). You can track these results on a student-by-student and class basis by viewing user progress and class progress in the User Progress tool.
