Course Homepage

Your Course Homepage 

Whether you teach online or face-to-face, it is important to start your course in a way that is both informative and inviting. A good homepage should include the following:

  • Your name
  • Your contact information and communication expectations/preferences
  • How to get help
  • How to get started
  • A welcoming and helpful tone

Note: If your course is available to students before the semester starts, you may wish to include textbook info, too, or a link to the syllabus.

Here are a couple of nice sample homepages and an Download example

for your use. Notice how each homepage sets a welcoming tone and provides the needed information :
