5: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
6: \textbf{Edit course contents}
7: on the Main Menu.

1.8 webbsuza 10:
1.11 lira 11: \textbf{Main Content Editor} tab makes up the heart of course itself. Students use the navigation
12: controls to move through the Main Content. \textbf{Main Content}\index{main content} is listed on
13: the \textbf{Contents} screen. Main Content was added to
1.8 webbsuza 14: LON-CAPA in 2003, so pre-2003 courses (as well as courses deliberately created in
1.11 lira 15: the old style) will not have Main Content. The Main Content was called
1.12 ! lira 16: Main Content\index{main content} from then until version 2.11.
1.8 webbsuza 17:
1.11 lira 18: \textbf{Supplemental Content} is on another tab on the \textbf{Course Editor} page.

1.10 riegler 21: selecting
1.11 lira 22: the \textbf{Supplemental Content} tab while viewing the \textbf{Course Content}. Supplemental Content
23: is particularly useful for auxiliary files that may not be directly viewable
1.9 webbsuza 24: or usable in a browser, such as PowerPoint presentations or Word documents --
25: some of which may not work on all students' computers.
1.8 webbsuza 26:
27: These the two types of Course Documents are essentially identical,
1.11 lira 28: except Main Content has some options not available
29: to the Supplemental Content.
1.8 webbsuza 30:
1.11 lira 31: NOTE: These two types of content provide instructors the ability to extend
1.8 webbsuza 32: already existing courses, or personalize courses with their own syllabi
1.11 lira 33: or information pages. While coursed can be copied or cloned, for the ultimate power
34: in creating reusable content, you will want to become a content \textbf{Author}.
35: Please talk to your LON-CAPA
1.8 webbsuza 36: Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author. For more information about becomming an Author, see
1.11 lira 37: the LON-CAPA Author's Manual available online at \texttt{http://help.lon-capa.org}.
