After adding a module, you can assign a module to individual students or sections.
Notes:
- If a student is assigned only a specific item within a module and not the entire module, they cannot view any items in the module. However, they can view the item on applicable pages. For example, if the module item is an assignment, page, or quiz, it can be viewed on the Assignments, Pages, or Quizzes page respectively.
- If a student is assigned an entire module, but not specific items within that module, students can only view the items they are assigned.
- The "Assign To" settings is not supported in the Teacher apps.

Within an ePortfolio section, you can create pages to add to the section. You can also add content to each page in the section. Please note that any content added to an ePortfolio can only be viewed by users who have permission in Canvas to view it, even if your ePortfolio is made public. For instance, if you add a quiz submission to your ePortfolio, your instructor can view the submission, but you do not have permission to view other student submissions.
