Modules for Setting up your A+ PLUS Content:

Modules are the “building blocks” of your A+ content. They are the sections where your enhanced images and text will reside.

There are 17 different modules available. Many of the modules are similar, providing different combinations of inserting images and text. You can mix-and-match module types or use the same module as many times as you like. Their flexibility allows you to create your A+ content as image-heavy or text-heavy as you would like.

Let’s look at examples of each module you may want to use:
