Course Structure and Customization
All courses will look relatively the same, making the course structure fairly uniform across all sites unless you opt to use a tool like DesignPLUS to add additional styling. You can also customize your home page to be one of the following:
- Course Activity Stream (most recent activity and interactions).
- Pages Front Page (select a page in the course site to be the site's landing page).
- Course Module or Assignments List.
The Office of Digital Learning (ODL) provides regularly scheduled DesignPLUS Workshops, including an introductory course geared more towards designing your course site and a Deep Dive geared towards enhancing student engagement with your course site. See our current listing of Workshops or setup a consulation with our team.
