Hidden Mysteries of Canvas: Requirements to a Canvas Module

Adding requirements to a module is an essential step to ensure that students complete the necessary tasks required to mark a module complete. By adding requirements, instructors can choose to have students complete all requirements or choose one item to fulfill a specific requirement. However, it is important to note that instructors must add module items before adding requirements.

Students can complete requirements in any order or if they need to move through the module sequentially. There can be different requirements for each iteration of a module item.

Adding requirements ensures students clearly understand what is required of them, making their learning process more efficient and effective.
