Hi John - you cannot assign a module without first adding it to a course. The course is where you'll be able to configure the assignment or compliance rules and assign individuals or teams to the content.

Just to add to what Beth noted, learners cannot view a module from a course until they are enrolled in the course. Learners self-enroll by navigating to the course and then starting a module in the course, or they can be assigned the course by someone else.
I mention this because we run into issues at our organization from time to time when someone will share a link to a module and the person who receives the link sees a permissions error when they try using the link. They see the permissions error because they have to enroll in the course before they can view the module.
It's unfortunate because sometimes we're trying to direct a learner to a specific module in the course but we can't do it using the module's URL since it may result in that error.
