The Checklist tool allows instructors to create checklists used to highlight important aspects of the course and course assignments to help keep students on track. Instructors can setup multiple checklists with many different categories and items. Each checklist must have one or more categories, into which checklist items are organized.

Checklists can be created to identify all of the items students need to complete within the week or module or per project. For example, you might have a "Week 1 Checklist" with items that include read course syllabus, complete syllabus quiz, post your response to the Introduce Yourself discussion board, etc.
