Difference Between 'Module' and 'Chapter'? (2024)

I'm planning to build a website which will be packed full of 10,000 word guides on a specific topic and I'm wondering whether or not to call each section in the guides 'Modules' or 'Chapters'.

I'm leaning towards using 'modules' as I want these guides to be very informative and how-to (although some guides won't be as how-to as others) - but I'm not sure if it's being used in the right context.

May sound a bit of a simple question for some.

Normally a simple Google search would give me a definite answer but not this time.

Here is the definition from Google of Module:

'each of a set of standardized parts or independent units that can be used to construct a more complex structure, such as an item of furniture or a building.'

and the definition of a Chapter:

a main division of a book, typically with a number or title.

What are thoughts??

Should I use 'Modules' or should I use 'Chapters'?
