How can I add a picture or other content to my homepage?

Content—including links, text and images—is added to the homepage in boxes called “widgets.” The default template for ICON courses includes a selection of widgets. You can create an alternative template with your own selection of ICON-provided widgets and customized widgets you create yourself. You can also restrict the viewing of widgets to certain groups or sections of students.

Also, you can now set an ICON tool such as Content, News, or Schedule as the homepage for a course. Or you can use any URL as a homepage for a course.

For instructions, see the Online Help section Changing the Homepage Widgets.
