Customizing the Getting Started Module

The Cañada Template - Getting Started Module has many turn-key resources that will be ready and waiting for you to publish for your students. There are certain pages, however, that you will need to edit and customize (for example, add your photo, bio and contact info to the "Syllabus & Instructor Contact" page). Once you import the Getting Started Module Template, be sure to click through each page to ensure that all template language has been removed (this language is typically in bold and italicized font) and has been replaced with language that is pertinent to your course.
