IDT Tips for Learning Modules

  • Use the drag-and-drop feature to reorganize content within a Learning module.
  • Use the description box to explain what the module contains and why students should explore it.
  • Select simple, meaningful images that help students quickly identify module topics.
  • Avoid embedding text within Learning module images, as it reduces accessibility and may not display well on all devices.
