Posting a Banner Image at the Top of the Announcements page. (Movie, 01:52)
You can add a banner image to appear at the top of the course entry point. The banner image is automatically centered. A recommended size for banners is approximately 480 by 80 pixels. When selecting a banner image, keep in mind that users can resize their browser windows, expand and collapse the Course Menu, and use monitors of varying sizes and screen resolutions. After uploading a banner, view it under those varying conditions to ensure that it appears as intended.

Customizing the Course Style 
Style options control the Course Menu style and layout, content appearance, course entry point, and the banner image for a course. On the Control Panel, expand the Customization section and select Teaching Style to access course style options.

Editing the Course Menu
Students access their course via the course menu. Learn how to customize the course menu to your liking.

Adding Tools to the Course Menu
Create a link to an available tool in the course, such as the Calendar or Journals.

Changing Tool Availability
You can select which tools are available in your course and which students have access to them. For example, if the Wiki tool will not be used, make it unavailable. No one can see it or access it, including you, until it is made available again.

Adding Content Areas to the Course Menu
You can create course areas to serve as containers for your course material. Course areas enable you to present various types of content in an organized and engaging way.
