Chapter

Modules created in CourseLab can be thematically combined in Chapters. Chapters can be grouped within another Chapters resulting in complicated Course hierarchy structure. Although there is no limitation for number of Chapters and number of sub Chapters within a Chapter, it is strongly recommended to avoid using too complex hierarchy structure. The reason is that you do not mean to discourage student from pursuing this Course just because the structure of that Course is too hard to apprehend.

Within Learning Management System the Chapter is usually displayed as a folder containing Modules and/or other Chapters. The Chapter for the distance Learning System is a structural unit. There is no information regarding state of the Chapter transmitted to the System from the Modules. The system is making changes to the state of the Chapters based on state information of its Modules and other Chapters.

From the education methodology point of view Chapter can be represented as a series of thematically grouped lectures or lessons.
