Courseware is the Law Center's web-based course management tool. Courseware sites can contain a variety of information, such as class announcements, topical discussions, course-related documents, links to other relevant websites, and visual aids. Another benefit of Courseware is that it provides a photo directory of those students who have registered for your class. Courseware is very user-friendly. It is organized by tabs. Each tab contains folders and each folder contains items. Anyone who wishes to create and manage a Courseware site can do so without any web application development skills.
