Step Two: Use Course Site as Your Core Online Learning Platform

Course Site will be the core learning platform for all courses and should be your primary means of communicating with students, delivering content, enabling interaction, creating assessments, and keeping a gradebook. Instructors may link to other tools and sites from within Course Site, but Course Site should be students’ first stop. Think of Course Site not just as a suite of instructional tools but also as a way for you to visually communicate to students how your course is organized, what they are supposed to do, and when they are supposed to do it.

First Steps: If you have not already done so, request a Course Site for your course.
