Content Course Overview

When users access a course’s Content tool for the first time, the first page they land on is the Overview. Use the Overview page to orient users to the course, content materials, and course expectations. If you decide not to add anything to this page, the Overview link and page is hidden from learners’ view. Users can print and download an uploaded course syllabus directly from the Content Overview page.

Note: If you decide not to add anything to the Overview, the Overview link and page is hidden from student view.
