I'm a relatively new Rails developer, but I think I have a good grasp
on the paradigm and I'm trying my best to adhere to RESTful standards.

First, let me describe the basic structure of my Rails app (only the
pieces relevant to my problem of course):

I have a User_Layouts controller.  Each User contains multiple
User_Layouts.  Each User_Layout entry describes a Module that the user
is subscribing to (and thus will be displayed on his dashboard -
essentially a collection of User_Layouts).  Thus, the
User_Layouts#index should display a dashboard containing all Modules
the User is subscribed to (very similar to iGoogle). I want to be able
to create these Modules easily (perhaps using a tailored generate
script) - each module having its own model, view, and controller.

My question is, what is the proper way to structure this?  When
User_Layouts#index is invoked, how to I tell Rails to render each
Module's view and place it in the proper div on the User_Layouts#index
view?  I've toyed with rendering partials, and render :update to
replace the innerHTML, but none of these seem elegant enough to be
standard practice.

Any ideas from the Rails experts out there?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
