Course Template
The course template is designed to ensure that all courses are organized in a similar manner, ensuring that students are able to easily navigate, find their content, and have a more seamless experience from course to course.
The Course Content and Assignments area is where you should organize your course content. You may choose to organize your content by week, unit, or topic. Whichever method you use, be sure to keep it consistent.
