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. +\item\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{page} +\textbf{Composite Page} +\item\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{syllabus} +\textbf{Syllabus} +\item\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{navigation} +\textbf{Table of Contents} +\item\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{simple} +\textbf{Simple Course Page} +\item\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{webpage} +\textbf{Blank Web Page} \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.
