    # Each loaded module is instantiated for each page,
    # however modules share the elements of each page and access them
    # via the ElementsDB.
    #
    # Since the ElementDB is dynamically updated by the Trainer
    # during the audit, is should only be initialized *once*
    # for each page and not overwritten every single time a module is instantiated.
