Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

 Teaching and Learning Resource Center

Pages

Carmen Pages are where you can put direct instructional content and educational resources that are part of a course but don't necessarily belong in an assignment or that are referred to in multiple assignments.

Pages are similar to a webpage and allow you to organize text, images, video, and link to files.

You can assign pages to individual students and sections using the “Assign to” button.

With pages you can:

  • Provide text and images to guide student learning or provide information.
  • Embed media content.
  • Link to course Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes using the Rich Text Editor.

Below is an example of a Carmen page containing text, links, and an embedded video.

You might consider creating a page as your course homepage. It provides students with a dedicated landing page for your course that you can customize.

You might use the homepage to:

  • Introduce yourself and the goals of the course.
  • Provide quick navigation links to important content within your course.
  • Give students directions for their first steps in the course.
  • Provide contact information.

Below is an example of a Page set as the course homepage.
