What has changed?The Build Content button offers the most changes and a different set of tools.
Learning ModuleA Learning Module is a collection of Content Items focused on a specific subject that students can navigate at their own pace. Another name for it might be a page turner.
A Table of Contents can be used to navigate through the Learning Module. Content within a Learning Module is added and managed just like content in a Content Folder.
Lesson PlanA Lesson Plan is special content type that combines information about the lesson itself with the curriculum resources used to teach it.
Default Lesson Plan sections include the instructional level, grade level, objectives, and subject area of the lesson.
Additional sections can be added to the Lesson Plan, arranged to appear in any order and optionally displayed to students.
