! 2: A LON-CAPA course is managed through

! 4: \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or by selecting
! 5: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
! 6: \textbf{Edit course contents}

1.8 webbsuza 10:
1.9 webbsuza 11: \textbf{Main Course Documents} make up the course itself. Students use the navigation
1.8 webbsuza 12: controls to move through the Main Course Documents. Main Course Documents are listed on
1.10 ! riegler 13: the \textbf{Course Contents} screen. Main Course Documents were added to
1.8 webbsuza 14: LON-CAPA in 2003, so pre-2003 courses (as well as courses deliberately created in
15: the old style) will not have Main Course Documents.
16:
17: \textbf{Supplemental Course Documents} are attached to the course but do
18: not appear in the main course sequence. Students access these documents by
1.10 ! riegler 19: selecting
! 20: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{subdocs}
! 21: \textbf{View supplemental course documents}
! 22: on the Main Menu.
! 23: Supplemental Course Documents
1.8 webbsuza 24: are particularly useful for auxiliary files that may not be directly viewable
1.9 webbsuza 25: or usable in a browser, such as PowerPoint presentations or Word documents --
26: some of which may not work on all students' computers.
1.8 webbsuza 27:
28: These the two types of Course Documents are essentially identical,
29: except Main Course Documents have some options not available
30: to the Supplemental Course Documents.

32: NOTE: These capabilities provide instructors the ability to extend
33: already existing courses, or personalize courses with their own syllabi
34: or information pages. Main Course Documents and Supplemental Course Documents
35: do not carry over from one course to another. To create
36: documents for use in multiple courses, please talk to your LON-CAPA
37: Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author. For more information about becomming an Author, see
38: the LON-CAPA Author's Manual available online at \underbar{http://help.lon-capa.org}.
