Customizing courses>>Adding content
You can add a folder to any content area. You can also add a folder to a learning unit and to another folder. Once you have created a folder, you can add new content to it or copy existing content from another area or folder into it.
To add a folder to a content area:
Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.
Click Control Panel.
Under Content Areas, click the area to which you want to add a folder.
Select Folder on the Add toolbar at the top of the page.
Under Folder Information, enter the following information:
Name – The folder name. Select a folder name from the Name list, or enter a name in the box provided.
Choose Color of Name – A color for the link to the folder. Click Pick to select a different color in the ColorPicker.
Text – A description of the folder, which appears with the folder link in the content area. Choose a text display format for the text or accept the default format, which is Smart Text.
Under Options, set or modify these options:
Make the folder available – Select Yes if you want students to be able to view and open the folder. Select No to hide it.
Choose date restrictions – This option lets you set the folder availability according to dates and times. Set the Display After date and time to indicate when the folder will become available to students. You can also set the Display Until option so the folder is only available up to a specified date and time. (See How display dates work for more information.) Be sure to select the Display check box as well as specifying display dates.
Click Submit, then click OK.
