Idea: pin modules to top

[jasmor]

I think it would be really useful to be able to choose to pin a module to the top of the module screen. I create weekly modules in all of my courses, so certain important resources can quickly become buried. I would like to be able to create a "resources" module and pin that to the top of the module page so students can easily access those materials as needed. I understand there are probably other ways I could achieve this goal, but I would like to stick to modules as much as possible.

I wanted to submit this idea to the idea board, but they say you should not duplicate ideas and someone asked for this in 2024. No replies, no discussion. An older post requesting this feature with a lot of support has been archived. Seems like it should be an easy add!

Thoughts?

@jasmor From my understanding, unless you create a new module above it, your top module should always be at the top. Are you hoping it would be sticky and stay at the top of the screen even when folks are scrolling down the modules page?
