The structure you set up with the Syllabus is visible to your students on the Course Home. You can preview your students' view by opening the Activities tool.

You can build your course using:

  • Folders to organize your content into units, chapters, sections, etc.
  • The Library to add activities and content from other courses, domains, and open educational resources (OER), like OpenEd.  
  • Projects, which allow you to create and manage robust projects that provide authentic experience, enable group learning, empower students, and encourage critique, reflection, and revision. These features are designed to support the critical components of project-based learning (PBL).
