what are modules? the videos describe the how not the what

Dear @Johannes Kingma, 

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.  

I understand you're looking for a clearer idea of what Modules are, not just how to use them. Since your teams are built around modules and classes, understanding their purpose can help you make the most of them. Here is some information that will help clarify your question: 

1/ What are modules in Microsoft Teams for education? 

In Microsoft Teams for Education, modules refer to structured units of learning content that educators can organize within Classwork. Each module can include: 

• Assignments 
• Files 
• OneNote pages 
• Web links 
• Channels 

This structure helps students navigate learning materials more easily, seeing everything related to a topic or unit in one place. 

2/ Benefit from using modules 

Creating Teams on a per-module and class basis allows your institution to: 

• Streamline content delivery: Each module acts as a digital folder for all related resources. 
• Improve student focus: Students can concentrate on one module at a time, reducing overwhelm. 
• Enable targeted collaboration: Teams per module allow for focused discussions and group work. 
• Simplify assignment tracking: Educators can assign, collect, and grade work within each module. 
• Support differentiated learning: Modules can be customized for different learning paths or levels.
