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 (not clear if course coordinator is set).
	\item Course Cloning Permissions
\end{itemize}

When you are done going
through the Helper, click the \fbox{Finish} button, which takes you to the Main Menu screen.

By default, the first resource in the course will open when the students log in.
If you would prefer to have the students see the table of contents, see section
\ref{Docs_Navigate_Content}.
