A nice example of updating the home page.

This is the homepage for my late start HIST 101. I update this every week with information on what students will be doing. (I use to just have the modules as my homepage). So for this week we discuss the Young Republic and the Age of Jackson. I then remind them of what assignments, quizzes, exams, etc. they need to complete this week and highlight this. I think changing homepages every week helps to orient them where we are in the class and provides REC. I do not know how effective this is, however, since this is the first thing they see once they log in, I feel better knowing this information is accessed by them. Does anyone else do something like this every week?
