Page Builder: Working with Sections

Sections are used to organize the content of pages in CoursePlus. A page must have at least one section on the page in order for any information to appear on the page. CoursePlus provides a number of pre-built sections that you can include on your pages. You can also create a new section at any time and add it to your page.

There are three types of sections on a Page Builder page:

  1. Page Specific — the sections that are included on the page and are unique to that page.
  2. Coursewide — sections of content that you create that can be re-used on other pages in the exact same way in all instances of the section.
  3. Systemwide — sections of content that include functionality from other CoursePlus tools like the Online Library.

 

How to Add a Section of Content to a Page

  1. Click Page Builder on the main Faculty Tools page.
  2. Make sure that the Pages tab is selected. It's selected by default.
  3. Find the page that you want to work on. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) to the right of that page listing.
  4. Click Add Section at the top of the page.
  5. If you want to use a pre-existing coursewide or systemwide section, click the Insert link beneath the section to add it to the page.
  6. If you want to create a totally new section, click the Create New tab at the top of the window.
  7. You have two options when creating new sections:
    1. Make the section specific to that page only.
    2. Make the section re-usable in the exact same way across multiple pages in the class. This is known as a coursewide section.
  8. Enter the Section Title.
  9. Enter the content for the section in the rich text editor. Always paste content using the Paste from Word button.
  10. Click Create Section to add the totally new section to the page.

 

How to Edit a Section of Content on a Page

To edit any section on any page, click the Edit button (pencil icon) in the upper-right corner of each section box.

Note: Systemwide sections cannot be edited in any way. Editing a coursewide section updates the information in all occurrences of that section on all pages.

 

How to Delete a Section of Content from Page

To delete any section on any page, click the Remove button (X icon) in the upper-right corner of each section box.
