ICON Course Default Set-Up

Once an ICON course site is created, instructors can now begin to edit and design their ICON site to suit the needs of their course. Every ICON course site has a default appearance and settings that can be modified once an instructor has access to the course site. The following content explains an ICON course site's default set-up. 

Course Navigation Menu Default:

1. Navigation Menu: Links on the left side of your ICON course to access different areas of the course
2. Home: The default home page is 'Modules', learn how to manage and edit your course home page
3. Visibility: Different areas of your course that have no content or are disabled will be hidden from students and noted by the visibility icon

Course Status

By default, an ICON course site will remain unpublished until an instructor decides that a course is ready to be viewed by students. Only then should an instructor publish their course.

Course Details 

The 'Course Details' tab lets instructors manage key components of their ICON site including identification details, grading schemes, and course visibility.

Visibility

Under 'Course Details' instructors can edit the ICON site visibility. The default setting is 'Course' which allows anyone enrolled in the course to access the ICON site. It is recommend to keep the visibility of an ICON site set to 'Course'. Please note that the option for 'Public' allows anyone with the URL to access the ICON site.
