About Modules
Various types of modules are available to add extra functionality to ATutor. As of version 1.6.2 most modules can be imported using the Module Manager in ATutor itself. Modules make it possible for course designers to turn tolls on or off as needed, and allows developers to create new features and attache them into ATutor. For more about creating modules, see the Module Developer Documentation included with the ATutor Handbook. If you have a Module to Share, let us know so we can tell the ATutor community about it.
