In BlueVolt, a course is the full “class” or “assignment” you take on a given subject. A module is one part of a course. Courses can be made up of multiple modules or just one module. Below are some examples of courses and modules. This distinction matters when creating and editing courses, as well as when you are troubleshooting issues with a course. Creating or editing may require several modules whereas troubleshooting an issue may only require looking at one module.

Anatomy of a Course
When you look at a course in a BlueVolt university, you will see the Outline tab. This will list all the parts of the course. Each module will have its own title and description. It will also indicate if it’s optional. Anything that doesn’t specify optional is required to complete the course.
