Learning Module: How can I easily print several items in the learning module at once?
ANSWER:
Learning Module: Create Printable View
Use the Create Printable View tool to create a printable view of all or selected content in a learning module. The printable view can be printed or saved to a file.
NOTE: Depending on the Instructor, the Action Menu may not appear, and if the Action Menu does appear, the Create Printable View tool may not appear.
Depending on the content of the learning module and the items you select to include, the following information appears in the printable view:

- The title of SCORM modules.
- The title, instructions, collaboration type, due date, grading criteria, and attachments of assignments.
- The title and description of chat and whiteboard rooms, and discussion categories and topics.
- The title and content of HTML (.html) content files; and the title and a link to the content of text (.txt) content files.
