Courses are the top level of your content. A course holds modules, a module holds elements, and members are enrolled per course — so a course is also the unit access is granted and revoked against.

Modules are the ordered sections of a course. They carry no content themselves: they group the elements a learner works through, and their position decides the order those appear in.

Elements are the individual pieces of content inside a module — a lesson, a video, a quiz, a submission, a discussion. An element is what a learner completes, which is why activity records are recorded against one.

Members are the people in your organization. Membership is separate from course enrollment: creating a member admits someone to the organization, and they reach a course only once enrolled in it.

Teams are named groups of members. Assigning a course to a team enrolls every member of the team in it, and members added to the team later are enrolled in every course the team is assigned to.

Activities are the record of a member engaging with an element — a completion, a submission, a score. They are read-only here, and are the source for progress and completion reporting.

Organization-level operations that sit outside any single course: inviting people, revoking their access, and reading the custom field definitions that members and course members can carry values for.

Uploads put a file into your organization's storage and return a URL for it. That URL is what you then set on an element — a video, a file, a SCORM package — or on a member's avatar.
