Creating Modules
Do I need to fill in all the fields when creating a module?
No, you don't need to fill in every field. The only required field is the lesson description. However, providing more details like grade level, subject, and learning standards will help generate more targeted and useful content.
What is the Prompt Helper and how do I use it?
The Prompt Helper (stars icon) is an AI-powered tool that helps you write better prompts or come up with lesson ideas. Click the stars icon next to the lesson description field, describe what kind of lesson you need, and it will generate creative suggestions to get you started.
What customization options are available?
You can choose grade level, academic level, rigor level (from Standard to Extreme), assessment types, output format, and word length. The Features tab lets you add differentiation elements, writing practice, special education modifications, English learner support, and various learning theory preferences.
What are the different output formats?
Module Dog offers multiple formats including Traditional Lesson Plans, Student Worksheets, Digital Modules, Text Chapters, Articles, Blog Posts, and more. Each format is optimized for different teaching contexts and presentation needs.
Text & Image Search Features
How does the text and image search work?
You can choose to have the AI automatically evaluate your generated module content and suggest search terms, or enter your own custom search terms. The system will then find relevant educational texts and images to enhance your module.
Do I need to use text and image search for every module?
No, these features are optional. You can create excellent modules without using the search features. They're designed to enhance your content when you want additional multimedia resources.
What's the difference between Regular and Premium text search?
Premium subscribers get full access to advanced text search powered by Perplexity AI, which provides deeper, more refined results with better control. Regular subscribers get Google image and text search with some Perplexity use. Currently, Perplexity only works with custom, manually-entered search terms.
How do I save my search results?
After your module generates and search results are returned, you must actively select and save your choices, or they will not be saved with your module. Look for selection checkboxes next to the returned images and texts. Click on texts or images to select them. Then click Save Changes to save the selected texts and images to your module.
Exporting & File Formats
What export formats are available?
You can export your modules as PDF, DOCX (Word), and PPTX (PowerPoint) files. Each format is professionally formatted and ready for classroom use or further customization.
What's included in each export format?
PDF and DOCX exports feature your module text. PPTX exports include your module text and images, with the option to include clickable links to text sources, making them interactive presentations for classroom use.
When can I export my modules?
You can export immediately after creating a module, or later from your Dashboard by clicking on any module card to open it in the module editor. The export options are available from both locations.
Managing Your Content
How do I access my created modules?
Go to your Dashboard by clicking your username in the top-right corner and selecting 'Dashboard.' Your modules appear as cards that you can click to open in the module editor for viewing, editing, or exporting.
What are Classes and how do I use them?
Classes help you organize modules by subject, grade level, or any system you prefer. Create a class from your Dashboard, then use the buttons to add existing modules or favorite configurations to that class for easy organization.
How do Favorites work?
Favorites save your module creation configurations (not the content itself) so you can quickly recreate similar modules. Save a configuration using the 'Save to Favorites' button at the bottom of the module creator page. Retrieve them from the Favorites tab in your Dashboard or the Load Favorites folder icon button on the module creator page. When you click this button, a screen will open to let you select and load one of your favorite configurations. Favorites provide an efficient way to save and retrieve your lesson preferences for each class or section, without needing to re-enter your preferences every time you create a new module.
Can I edit modules after creating them?
Yes! Click on any module card in your Dashboard to open it in the module editor, where you can make changes to the content, search for additional resources, or export in different formats.

How do I get help or support?
