Once you have your template and course materials imported, you will probably start wondering how to best organize your materials so that your students can navigate easily to what they need to read, watch, see, and do. This will depend on the needs of your specific course, but a good place to start (and return to when in doubt) is the 'What Goes Where' page.

After that, we've provided a set of pages with 'how to' explanations, along with examples of how different setups would look in practice. Feel free to jump to what you are interested in directly, or move through these materials sequentially using the Next button.
