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 (be sure at least one e-mail is listed).
	\item Course Cloning Permissions
\end{itemize}

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

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 section
\ref{Docs_Navigate_Content}.
