Course Page

What is Course Page?


Definition

A course page is a dedicated area within a learning management system that contains information, resources, and activities for a specific course. It typically brings together materials such as announcements, readings, assignments, grades, and other course-related content in one location. This helps students access and manage course information efficiently throughout the academic term.
