Courseware Tutorial for Faculty

Courseware is the Law Center's web-based course management tool. Courseware sites can contain a variety of information: class announcements, course-related documents, links to relevant websites, threaded discussions, and visual aids. Faculty members can also access a photo directory of those students who have registered for their classes.

Courseware is organized by tabs. Each tab contains folders and each folder contains items. Specific instructions for using Courseware can be found below. If you have other questions about Courseware, please contact Dianne Harrison Ferro Mesarch at dhf2@law.georgetown.edu.
