Step-by-step COURSE SCHEDULE PAGE BUILDER

1. Starting a New Course Home Page

  1. Click here to open an additional browser window. You will be able to switch back and forth between the two browser windows, working on your pages in the other window while you follow the instructions in this window.

  2. In the other browser window, click on the link for the Course Schedule Page Builder.

  3. The Course Schedule Page has five required fields.
    • Instructor (i.e., Dr. John Doe)
    • Department (i.e., Computer Science)
    • E-mail Address (i.e., jdoe@nat.uncp.edu)
    • Course Abbreviation (i.e., CMA 105)
    • Course Title (i.e., Composition I)

  4. For the remaining fields, entering information is optional. If nothing is entered in the text box, nothing will show on your Web page. Be careful not to press the space bar inside a text box or the category heading will show on your page.

  5. At any point you may see what your Web page will look like by clicking on the view button. Click on the browser's back button to return to entering your information.

2. Entering Data for the Course Schedule Page

    • E-mail Address (Required): Instructor's e-mail address

  2. Course Information:

    • Title (Required): Title of the course.

  3. Formatting Information:
    • Center Date: If unchecked, the date is left justified in the column. If checked, the date will be center justified within the column.
    • Center Due Date: If unchecked, the due date is left justified in the column. If checked, the due date will be center justified within the column.
    • Cell Spacing: Entering a value causes extra spaces to be placed between the columns. For example, entering 5 in the text box would cause 5 blank spaces to be placed on the Web page between the columns.

      miximize
      The maximum column width is given to whichever item is selected.
    • Blank Line Between Entries: If unchecked, each entry will display on a single line. If checked, a blank line will be inserted between each entry.

  4. Schedule Entry #1 through Schedule Entry #50: Checking the preserve box preserves the line breaks just the way they are shown in the text area. If you do not click on this box, all of the text you have typed will be displayed as one paragraph of text with no line breaks. This allows the length of the lines of text to be adjusted or "wrapped" to fit the size of the viewer's screen.
    • Date: Enter the date of the assignment.
    • Topic: Enter the topic of the assignment.
    • Reading: Enter a reading assignment.
