Module – Basic information

The module in Mentortools is a top-level structural element that brings together multiple lessons. It serves to divide the course into logical sections—for example, by topics, weeks, or learning objectives. By dividing it into modules, your participants get a better overview, clearer orientation, and higher motivation. This guide explains what a module is, what you can use it for, and how it fits into the overall structure of the course.

Modules in Mentortools

A module is:

  • A thematic block within a course—e.g., "Module 1: Introduction," "Module 2: Implementation," "Module 3: Scaling."

  • A container for lessons—each lesson covers a sub-topic within the module.

  • A navigation element for participants—in the course view, participants can immediately see where they are and what content still lies ahead.

Advantages of a Course Structure with Modules

  • Better clarity: Participants don't see 20+ lessons at a glance, but rather clearly structured modules with several chapters each.

  • Motivating progress: Completing a module feels like a milestone and keeps motivation high.

  • Clearly defined learning objectives per module: Each module can represent a specific goal or result—e.g., "Module 2: Create your first sales offer."

  • Flexibility in course design: You can freely rename, move, hide, or assign modules to specific user groups.

Tip for Course Planning

Plan your modules before you start creating the course—for example, on paper, in an Excel sheet, or with a mind map. Think in "learning blocks":

What should the participant know, understand, or be able to implement after each module? Then, organize the individual lessons thematically. This way, you create a clear and logical "thread" that runs through the entire course.
