[ARCHIVED] Course flow question

[lisa_moore]

I use Canvas for my high school English classes. I have always done my modules in order, adding the newest module at the end of the list, unpublishing past modules as we go. My colleague puts the most recent at the top. We will be using the blueprint feature in the Master course, so we will need to come to consensus on which way we will go?

I'm asking the more experienced Canvas instructors out there - do you think it is better to put the most recent Module on top or add it to the end of the list? 

 I'd also love to hear about resources for learning more about course flow. 

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

Hello there, @lisa_moore ...

Sorry to see that this question has been sitting here unanswered for such a long time.  Full discloser, I am a Canvas administrator at our Technical College, and I do not teach courses.  You may have already made a decision on the direction you and your colleagues want to go...but if not, I'll add my feedback.  We always keep the content in our "Modules" screen in order.  We have "Learning Plans"...so LP 1 is at the top, LP2 is below it, and so on...  If you are choosing to only keep one module visible at a time, from a student's point of view, then it doesn't really matter what order you keep them in your course.  They will only see the module(s) that you've published.  But, for the sake of keeping things organized on the "Modules" page, you'd want to use whatever method will work best for you.

I'm not sure if this will be of help or not.  Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!  Take care, stay safe, and be well.
