Utilizing a landing page in your online course design.

Whether students are just starting their online learning journey or are already seasoned online students, logging into an online course at the start of a new semester can seem daunting. As an instructor, you have the power to reduce your students’ feeling of being overwhelmed, and even help them feel encouraged and excited to get started. Incorporating a landing page design in your online course offers similar benefits and avoids a few common pitfalls that your students might experience when opening up the course for the first time.
