 \begin{itemize}  
 \item \textbf{Syllabus}\index{Syllabus} adds a traditional syllabus  
 page, which can be filled out with various standard Syllabus information.  
 \item \textbf{Simple Page} allows you to add a simple HTML page to the course,  
 with an area for text, and an area to add web references. Give the page a  
 \textbf{Title}, type plain text into the \textbf{Content} textbox, and add  
 any links to other resources in the \textbf{Web References} section, where  
 they will be turned into HTML links for the students.  
 \item \textbf{Bulletin Board} allows you to add a dedicated Bulletin Board page  
 to the course. By default in LON-CAPA, \emph{all} pages can host discussion,  
 but you may wish to centralize the discussion, or provide a place for general  
 course-related discussion.  
 \item \textbf{My Personal Info} will add your personal information page, which  
 is the same across all LON-CAPA courses you may be an instructor for. This  
 is a place to provide a general introduction to yourself for your students,  
 and a photo, if you like.  
 \end{itemize}  
 To edit the pages, click on the page's link in the Course Documents area,  
 next to the blue arrows, \textbf{Remove} and \textbf{Rename} link. Each template  
 behaves in much the same way: Several labeled fields are provided, with text  
 boxes below them. Fill out the ones that apply to your course. Leave the  
 rest blank, and they will not be displayed to students. When you are done,  
 click one of the \textbf{Store} buttons to save your work.  
   
 When you click \textbf{Store}, \emph{all} changes made to any textbox on  
 the screen are saved. Thus, you need not click \textbf{Store} for every single  
 textbox; the \textbf{Store} buttons are shown next to each box for your convenience  
 only.  
   
 To see how the page looks without the text boxes, click the \textbf{Public  
 View} or \textbf{Show Student View} link near the top of the page. This will  
 show you how the page looks to everyone else.  
   
 The \textbf{My Personal Info} template and \textbf{Simple Page} templates  
 will allow you to upload a photo from your harddrive. Either type the path  
 on your harddrive to the photo you wish to upload, or click the \textbf{Browse...}  
 button to select a file to upload. Click the \textbf{Upload} button to copy  
 the photo from your hard drive to LON-CAPA.  
   
 \textbf{Note}: The \textbf{My Personal Info} page is a special page in that it  
 belongs to you, not the course. Everywhere you insert that page will have the same  
 contents, and all changes made to one will propogate to all others. Bear  
 that in mind as you fill it in; since it may appear for multiple courses you   
 may not wish to add course-specific information.

 All of these document types are provided for your convenience; you are  
 not required to use them. If for instance you prefered to create your  
 own Syllabus\index{Syllabus}, you can create an HTML page and either  
 upload it into the course like any other document (see  
 \ref{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive}), or host it on another web server  
 and add it as an External Resource (see \ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}).
