Contacts

Instructors can use the Contacts feature to provide contact information for themselves and anyone else course members may need to contact.

  • To create a new contact, go to Control Panel > Course Tools > Contacts and click the Create Contact button.
  • In step one, fill out the information that you would like to be displayed to other members. Providing an email address is the only required step.

Instructors may also organize multiple contacts into folders.
