Organizing your course content into an outline helps students quickly understand what they will be doing each week. It can also help you as the instructor stay organized. As an example of how you might use an outline, see the screenshots below. The first picture shows that the section has not been organized. On the second one, the section has a description and each resource or activity is organized into categories.
