Every enrolled Student has a course Web site Homepage where they can post information about themselves. The Edit Your Homepage screen allows users to edit their course Web site homepages. This area is created by default, each time a new Student registers in the course. The default page is blank until the user edits the page.
The Student Homepage is only available as a Course Tool; it is not available as an Institution Tool. Other users view your Homepage by clicking your name in the Roster.
Follow the steps below to open the Edit Your Homepage page.
Step 1 Open a course Web site.
Step 2 Click Tools on the course menu.
