LMS Jargon-File vs Module?

A module can be defined in several ways depending upon the context, if I were a

NASA engineer it would be part of a spacecraft or if I were a scientist it might be a unit
of measurement. A file is best described as either a set of papers or data usually found
within folders. Seems quite simple really.

However, I was recently in a town hall-style faculty meeting with my colleagues at
our public high school in which we were diving deeper into our new LMS of Canvas.
And since we had not been properly using our old LMS, the question came up several
times throughout the day. What exactly is a file vs. a module? And as I wanted to fire back
with a direct response like a heat seeking missile, I fell short for a moment as I myself
pondered what the heck a module was in this educational context. And then it hit me,
a module is a learning opportunity. Now that could be the opportunity to gain information
through knowledge such as notes or information from the web or even a portion from a
textbook or video clip. It could also be an opportunity to show or demonstrate learning
such as in a discussion post or other assignment and it can also be an opportunity to
assess learning in a long or short term setting such as quizzes, tests, midterms and finals.
So although a file can be a module, a module certainly is not just a file, but so much more.
It's an opportunity to know more than you did before you showed up! And that is something
worth investing in for our students as well as for ourselves!
