1.1 ! bowersj2 1: \label{Docs_Creating_From_Template}Several templates are available for you
! 2: to fill out and add to your course.
! 3:
! 4: To add a templated document to your course, click on the button for the templated
! 5: page you wish to add: \textbf{Syllabus}, \textbf{Simple Page}, \textbf{Bulletin
! 6: Board}, or \textbf{My Personal Info}. \textbf{Simple Page} and \textbf{Bulletin
! 7: Board} will pop up a window asking you to give them a title. Once you've
! 8: titled the page, if necessary, the page will be added to the end of the current
! 9: Course Documents folder.
! 10:
! 11: \begin{itemize}
! 12: \item \textbf{Syllabus} adds a traditional syllabus page, which can be filled out
! 13: with various standard Syllabus information.
! 14: \item \textbf{Simple Page} allows you to add a simple HTML page to the course,
! 15: with an area for text, and an area to add web references. Give the page a
! 16: \textbf{Title}, type plain text into the \textbf{Content} textbox, and add
! 17: any links to other resources in the \textbf{Web References} section, where
! 18: they will be turned into HTML links for the students.
! 19: \item \textbf{Bulletin Board} allows you to add a dedicated Bulletin Board page
! 20: to the course. By default in LON-CAPA, \emph{all} pages can host discussion,
! 21: but you may wish to centralize the discussion, or provide a place for general
! 22: course-related discussion.
! 23: \item \textbf{My Personal Info} will add your personal information page, which
! 24: is the same across all LON-CAPA courses you may be an instructor for. This
! 25: is a place to provide a general introduction to yourself for your students,
! 26: and a photo, if you like.
! 27: \end{itemize}
! 28: To edit the pages, click on the page's link in the Course Documents area,
! 29: next to the blue arrows, \textbf{Remove} and \textbf{Rename} link. Each template
! 30: behaves in much the same way: Several labeled fields are provided, with text
! 31: boxes below them. Fill out the ones that apply to your course. Leave the
! 32: rest blank, and they will not be displayed to students. When you are done,
! 33: click one of the \textbf{Store} buttons to save your work.
! 34:
! 35: When you click \textbf{Store}, \emph{all} changes made to any textbox on
! 36: the screen are saved. Thus, you need not click \textbf{Store} for every single
! 37: textbox; the \textbf{Store} buttons are shown next to each box for your convenience
! 38: only.
! 39:
! 40: To see how the page looks without the text boxes, click the \textbf{Public
! 41: View} or \textbf{Show Student View} link near the top of the page. This will
! 42: show you how the page looks to everyone else.
! 43:
! 44: The \textbf{My Personal Info} template and \textbf{Simple Page} templates
! 45: will allow you to upload a photo from your harddrive. Either type the path
! 46: on your harddrive to the photo you wish to upload, or click the \textbf{Browse...}
! 47: button to select a file to upload. Click the \textbf{Upload} button to copy
! 48: the photo from your hard drive to LON-CAPA.
! 49:
! 50: The new document will appear in the course next time you \textbf{Re-Initialize}
! 51: the course on your \textbf{ROLES} screen, or login, whichever comes first.
