3. Click the Add Content link.

4. Click on the Folder link.

5. On the Content tab, enter the following:

• Name of your first course folder in the Title field (in most cases this would be the "Meet the Instructor" area.
• Short narrative for what can be found in this folder should be entered in the Subtitle field.
• Click on the [Save] button to create the folder. The folder will be displayed.

6. Click on the Materials tab to return to the top of the folder structure.

7. Repeat steps 3-5 until all course folders have been created.

Creating Content Pages

Content Pages are used to house specific lessons, tutorials, or lecture materials (the page that you are reading now is a Content Page). To create a Content Page:

1. Click on the Materials tab.
2. Click on the Add Content link listed under the folder that will house the page.
3. On the folder Content Page click the Page link. The New Page form will be displayed.
4. Enter a name for the Page in the Title field.
5. Enter a short overview or lesson objective in the Subtitle field.
6. In the Page Text field either cut-and-paste materials from a word document or type materials directly into the field. (If the materials are not written yet skip down to the net step -- this text can be added later).
7. Click the [Save] button.
