The course menu appears on the left side of your window. You create links on the course menu to present tools and materials to students. The area after the course menu is the Control Panel. You can access the Grade Center and your file repository, and choose which course tools to use.
In the Ultra Course View, select the plus sign on the Course Content page wherever you want to create content. All of your course content appears in the main part of the page. When you open a piece of content, it slides out in a layer on top of the Course Content page. Close layers to go back to a previous spot in your course.
Announcements are an ideal way to post time-sensitive information critical to course success. You can add announcements to alert your students to these types of course activities:
Course messages are private and secure text-based communication that occurs within your course among course members. You must be logged in to a course to read and send course messages. Messages provide an easy way to send reminders, quick questions, and social interactions in your course.
Online discussions provide unique benefits. Because students can take time to ponder before they post ideas, you may see more thoughtful conversations. You can observe as students demonstrate their grasp of the material and correct misconceptions.
