Adding Content to a Course
By now, you’re probably wondering, “When the heck do I get to add stuff to my course?” I’ve provided a lot of background here so you’ll understand some of the options you have. But now’s the time to start building your course.
Let’s start with a News item to announce to the world that your online materials are coming soon. The News forum is a special type of forum (for a full description of forums, see Chapter 4). The News forum is automatically created when the course is first generated. Everyone in the course can read the postings, and the news is automatically emailed to them. It’s a good tool for making general announcements and sending reminders to students about upcoming assignments.
To add a news item:
Click News forum.
Click “Add a NewTopic.” You’ll see the screen to add a new topic such as the one shown in Figure 2-18.
Type your new message to your class.
Click Save Changes. You will now be back at the main News Page.
Click on your course name in the navigation bar at the top.
