Chapter 7: Welcoming Your Students

Your courses are built and you are ready to go. When prospective students come to your site, what will they see? Will it be a welcome page, with some explanation of your site? Sample courses that are open to the public? A secure Login Page? Each of these is possible, by itself and in combination. In this chapter, you'll determine what kind of welcome page that prospective and existing students receive.
