4.4 Course Binders Course binder templates are created by instructors and are then sent to and completed by students. Students can access course binders assigned to them from the
Task Inbox of the Home screen or from the My Courses or Course Binders section of the Courses tab.

Click on the Name of the course binder to open it. This will bring up the first tab of the course binder

Read the Description for the course binder template for instructions on how to complete the course binder. The binder will be given a default Course Binder Name. You may change this name if you wish.

When you are ready to begin completing the course binder template, click on the first sub-tab.

Completing a Course BinderTo begin working on the Course Binder, click on its name.  The first  sub-tab of the Course Binder displays basic information about the assignment, such as a description, start date and due date. The name of this tab will reflect the name of the Course Binder.

The next set of sub-tabs are the "binder" tabs. These tabs reflect the organization of the assignment in the binder and will vary depending on the template in use. Clicking on the these sub-tabs will display the instructions and the type of artifacts that need to be created. It will also display any standards specified for the artifact template placeholders.

The last four sub-tabs - Assessment, Standards, Extensions, and Feedback – are common to all Course Binders.
 
The Assessment sub-tab allows the student to view all assessments that will be used to evaluate the Course Binder. Once the assessments have been completed, the student will click on this sub-tab to see the final assessments made on their work.

The Standards sub-tab displays all of the standards that have to be met in this Course Binder.

The Extensions sub-tab lists all of the extensions that were given. If the student accidentally submits the course binder before it was actually complete, the instructor may need to grant an extension to reopen it for editing or to extend the due date to remove the possibility of a Late status. If the assessment of the course binder has not yet started the student can recall the Course Binder. This will be explained in further detail later.

The Feedback sub-tab lists all of the on-going feedback regarding the Course Binder so the student can view it at any time.
 
To create and attach artifacts to the binder tabs, return to the first tab and click on the Artifact Wizard icon found on the right side of the screen.
