Customization and Collaboration

Segue can be distinguished from many other course management systems in the degree to which its appearance and organization can be customized and the extent to which students can contribute to the course site itself.

When a site is created, users can customize its appearance by chosing themes and theme settings and adding custom headers and footers. In addition, users can chose from various templates that suggest organizational schema for various types of content. Once created, the organization of the site can be further customized.

Faculty can give students in their classes permission to discuss, add, edit or delete from the entire class site or any content block, page, section of the site. 

Faculty

Faculty will see a list of all the classes they are teaching with the
option to create a site for any class. If classes have more than one
section, a single site can be made which groups all of these sections
together into one site. Faculty can copy a course site from a previous
semester into a "slot" for current semester.

Students

Students will see a list of all the classes they are enrolled in with links to sites created in Segue. As well Segue will list all the course sites for which a given student has editor permissions.

Associated Sites

Class site owners can create sites for all the participants in the Roster.
