The first time you enter your course, you will see the
Course Initialization Helper. Click the \fbox{Next} button on each
screen to keep the LON-CAPA default settings. The helper will step you
through the major settings:
\begin{itemize}
	\item Course Title
	\item Disable Chat Room Participation
	\item Disable Discussion Participation
	\item HTML preferences for posts
	\item Course Feedback recipient settings. These settings configure the e-mail destination(s) for messages composed when students use the feedback link from the course menu bar or a resource. Be sure to configure an e-mail address for at least one category. For more information see the Feedback Messages section (\ref{Course_Prefs_Feedback}).
	\item Course Cloning Permissions - configure who will be able to clone this course.
\end{itemize}

When you are done going
through the Helper, click the \fbox{Finish} button, which takes you to the Course Editor screen. If you decide at a later time to change any course settings, they can be found in the Main Menu under ``Course Settings'' (\ref{Course_Environment})

By default, the first resource in the course will be displayed when the students log-in and select a
student role in your course.
If you would prefer to have the students see the table of contents, see the ``Table of Contents'' section 
(\ref{Docs_Navigate_Content}).
