Organizing your course or lesson content in a consistent and logical way ensures your students focus on what you want them to know and do. It also reduces their cognitive load considerably. Predictability and clarity are important design considerations to help your students navigate your materials. Pages in your learning management system can be used as a template to organize your course materials. Once you build a template it can be reused for all your courses and lessons.
