Why Folders
The beauty of Schoology is that it lets you organize your course into sections/areas by using folders. These folders can be organized any way that makes sense for your course.
In some of my courses I've set up folders in the main Course area based on:
- Course Description
- Course Materials
In the Course Description Folder, there is the syllabus, course calendar, parent letter
In the Course Materials Folder, I've separated it into sub-folders with WEEK 1, WEEK 2, WEEK 3... and placed files, resources, assignments, etc. in each folder based on lesson plans. You could also base it on Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3, ....

Schoology lets you build your course upfront; housing files, assessments, assignments, resources, and modify or adding as you go.
