Students have the option of creating a course homepage. Students can enter:

• An introduction
• Personal Information
• An image
• Three of their favorite websites

The Course Home Pages are course specific, so only other participants in the course will be able to see them. Faculty cannot access the web form that students use to create their homepage, but instructors can see view the finished pages from the class roster.

How Faculty Access Student Homepages

1. Go to your Class Roster from the Communication Button of the Course Navigation.
2. Click the name of the student whose homepage you wish to view. If the student has created a homepage, his or her name will serve as a link to the homepage.

Note: Faculty cannot see the template that students use to enter their information. It is only visible from a student account.
