Article summary

Planning the course layout is key to a successful Ultra course. A well-planned course layout is essential for a successful Ultra course. A clear and logical structure helps students find relevant information quickly and makes course management easier for lecturers.

Organising content

clickUP Ultra allows you to organise your course into three levels.
The table below shows the content, assessments, and participation items available within each level.

The structure of your module should be based on factors like the number of units, themes, and weeks included. Consider the amount of scrolling needed and choose between these two approaches:

  1. Single Learning Module with Folders Inside
    This option places all content within one learning module, organised into folders for each unit or theme. Students can expand and collapse these folders as needed.

  2. Separate Learning Modules for Each Unit/Theme/Week
    Alternatively, you can create individual learning modules for each unit, theme, or week. If you choose this method for a course with 14 weeks, we recommend moving the current week to the top regularly to help students easily access the latest content.

Key Considerations

When deciding between Folders and Learning Modules, prioritise the student experience. Minimise scrolling and ensure that the content is logically organised and aligned with the Study Guide.

Note: Using a folder at the top level can disadvantage students by removing navigation arrows and requiring more clicks than a learning module, which may lead to frustration.
