How to build a course website in KTH Social (for teachers)

  1. Find your course in KTH Social. All courses automatically get their own course website in KTH Social.  You can for example access your courses through the quick menu at the bottom of your web browser. If you cannot see your courses in the quick menu you have not been registered correctly in the administrative course system. You can find information on how to fix the problem here.
  2. Upload course information. You can create a new page by clicking "Create new page" in the right hand column of your course website. Only teachers and administrators have access to this function. Studens can create and edit pages in the course wiki. A lot of information is automatically uploaded, e.g. the course plan, the schedule and the Bilda-link. You can edit the titles of your schedule to make them more descriptive. You can also add information, for example reading guidelines and upload files such as lecture notes
  3. Inform your students about KTH Social and how it can be used during the course. Write a post on your course website in KTH Social and welcome the students to your course.
