What are Course Tools?
You can add the following Course Tools:
- Organizational Tools
- Calendar
- Search
- Syllabus
- Communication Tools
- Announcement
- Chat
- Discussions
- Roster
- Who's Online
- Student Learning Activities
- Assessments
- Assignments
- Goals
- Content Tools
- Learning Modules
- Local Content
- Media Library
- SCORM
- Web Links
- Student Tools
- My Files
- My Grades
- My Progress
- Notes
Tool choices depend on the type of content you want to include in your course. For example, if you want to include quizzes in your course, you add the Assessments tool. After you add the tool, you can create quizzes and make them available to students.
Some tools, such as Search and Who's Online, do not need any further set up. Once you have added them and made them visible, students can use them immediately.
Students see Course Tools on every page of their course and can use them to go directly to the main page of a tool, which lessens the need for numerous links on Course Content Home. Course Tools, by itself, is a major organization feature of your course.
