BACK TO SCHOOL - PART 1 - COURSE PAGES


In case you missed the email I sent out earlier this month, I wanted to point out a few reminders and resources that will make setting up your pages for the new school year a little easier.

  1. I recommend using Firefox – Chrome seems to be having a few glitches which may be apparent when working on your course page (especially when inserting embedded media)
  2. Access archived pages to see what was posted last year – archived classes are now sorted by year to make navigation easier!
  3. You can even copy your home page from an archived course by accessing the archived class and selecting COPY in the upper right.
  4. You can also easily add archived folders directly from your current page (without having to access your archived class).
  5. A few updates have been made over the summer – you are most likely to see a change when embedding media in a content block – Now rather than having to click and open the full pop-up editor, you can embed directly on the new resource window – if you need a larger window you can now click “full screen” to enlarge the new resource window rather than opening a new window.
  6. Finally, everything I prepared for Holton’s Course Pages 101 workshop is posted in a resource folder on the Technology Information page appropriately named COURSE PAGES 101. Here you find a self-paced guide for setting up your course page –please let me know if you have any questions! [note: only Holton teachers can access this link]

As always, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help!
