| Designing Your Course Home Page: |
|
Once you've set up your course Site in Dreamweaver, it's time to get started by creating a "home page" for your class. This will be the first page that your students see and should include general identifying information about your course as well as an easy way to find further information about the class.
What information should the course home page include?
- Course title and course number
- Semester and year in which the course is being taught
- Instructor name, contact information, and office hours
- Contact information about teaching assistants
- A short description of the course
- Links to other information about the course perhaps including things like:
- a syllabus
- reading list
- general grading information
- assignment information or homework keys
- links to other relevant sites around the web.
- Information about the web page itself: when the page was created and who to contact if there are problems.
Here's a very simple home page with basic course information on it. As an exercise, try creating a similar page for your course.
