Every Facilitator Guide contains at least one Module, which begins with a Module Overview page.

Module Overview pages are only used in Facilitator Guides.

They summarize each instructional topic in your course for the Facilitator.

The Module Name at the top of the page:

Has the equivalent of a Heading 1 designation

And shows up that way in the Table of Contents.

Every Module Overview Page:

Is just One page.

Contains the same Module Content Blocks.

Is always followed by at least one Lesson - where the instructional content sits.

The appearance of this page is dictated by the Collection in use. To change the fonts or icons:

Choose a different Collection.

Do NOT manually change the fonts or delete the icons.

Do NOT delete the page break.

Take a closer look, below, to learn how to work with the Module Overview page.

Materials Needed Block

Do NOT delete this Content Block.

Use this space to list the materials the facilitator must have on hand to deliver this portion of the training.

Also list here any technical requirements for this Module.

There is a full list of ALL the materials needed for the entire course on the Program Preparation page in the Getting Started section of your Facilitator Guide.

Module Name

This is a field that holds the name of an instructional topic in your course.

What appears here also populates the Table of Contents, the Training at a Glance and the odd-numbered page headers.

Below are three examples of how a Module Name may look when using the Default Collection. No matter which Collection you use, or which scenario you see, the process for editing the name and updating your document is the same, and very easy. Learn how below.

NOTE: The examples are shown with Word's non-printing formatting marks on, because this is the way you will work. The formatting marks do not show when you print or PDF the document.
