Editing Pages

Widgets are tools to communicate information in different formats on the Pages tab. For example, there is an announcements widget, a blog widget, a forums widget, and many others.

As a page administrator, you determine the layout and content for your Page. For example, do you want a banner to stretch across the top of your Page? Do you want to add a blog so that you can write about your own observations and experiences? Would you like to have more than one tab on your Page?

Note: If you are a teacher and your Aspen system administrator created your Pages for you, they already have widgets on them. However, you are able to add, remove, and rearrange widgets if you desire.

You can do the following:

• View the list of widgets available to page administrators.
• View page permissions for widgets, including which page types they are available on and for which user roles
• Add and remove widgets from Pages.
• Add Video to a Widget.
• Insert an Image in a Widget.
• Add and remove tabs from Pages.
• Change a Page's settings.
• Create your own widget definitions.
• Create or edit a blog.
• Create or edit a banner.
• Create or edit external links.
• Create a forum.
• Manage Group Resources.
• Manage My Resources.
• Set up to receive assignments from students online.
