1. A course module for a modular wall building system, each course module comprising:
at least one inner wall panel;
at least one outer wall panel;
wherein each of the inner wall panels and each of the outer wall panels comprises:
upper and lower receiving rails extending from an interior surface of the wall panel; and
each of the receiving rails including a plurality of receiver holes;
panel connectors;
wherein each of the panel connectors includes:
a first longitudinal connector edge positioned adjacent a first lateral connector edge;
a second longitudinal edge opposing the first longitudinal edge and positioned adjacent a second lateral connector edge, the second lateral connector edge opposing the first lateral connector edge;
a first plurality of connector pins extending from the panel connector and distributed along the first longitudinal connector edge;
a second plurality of connector pins extending from the panel connector and distributed along the second longitudinal connector edge; and
wherein each of the first and second plurality of connector pins are configured to be received into the receiver holes of the receiving rail thereby attaching the panel connector to the receiving rail; and
wherein each of the panel connectors are disposed between the at least one inner wall panel and the at least one outer wall panel and connected via the connector pins to the receiving rails such that each panel connector is at least one of:
an upper panel connector attached to the upper receiving rails of the at least one inner wall panel and an adjacent inner wall panel and to the upper receiving rails of the at least one inner and adjacent outer wall panels; or
a lower panel connector attached to the lower receiving rails of the at least one inner wall panel and an adjacent inner wall panels and to the lower receiving rails of the at least one inner and adjacent outer wall panels.
