About Modules

Various addon modules are available to extend ATutor's functionality. As of ATutor 1.6.2 most modules can be imported using the Module Manager in ATutor itself. Modules make it possible for course designers to turn tools on or off as needed, and allows developers to create new features and attach 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.
