From the Manage Course page, the Instructor adds and modifies the content areas on the course Web site. For example, the Instructor can choose to have areas for Staff Information, specific Content Areas, and Course Links. On the Manage Course Menu page they can add an area and modify the name to suit the course.
Content areas may include:
· folders that hold course information such as Course Documents or Announcements
· specific items such as a course syllabus
· URLs
· Course Links, which link to other areas within the course
Instructors have the option to include up to 10 different areas for each course.
Note: To maintain a consistent appearance and functionality for all course Web sites, Administrators may remove options by setting overrides. This may include making some areas unavailable or setting permanent area names.
