The Overview is the summary of your course site and will generally be the first page you see when visiting a course site. You can view general site information, upcoming calendar entries, recent announcements, messages, and forum/chat posts.

The Lessons tool is where your course site content will be created and viewed in modules and sequences.

The Announcements tool is perfect for posting current, time-critical announcements on the site. Announcements can be created ahead of time and sent out at specific dates/times.

The Forums tool is where you can hold a discussion board for asynchronous conversations. Add posts/topics to a discussion board and have your students add to it.

The Messages tool will function like your E-mail, but will house and organize all your course site messages. Send messages to individuals/groups in the site. Messages are sent both within the system and as external emails to members' directory email addresses.

The Assignments tool will allow you to post, submit, and grade assignments in the course site. Instructors can provide instructions and online submission options for student work.

Within NYU Classes, instructors can post their course's syllabus in the dedicated Syllabus tool, available by default in every course site's left tool menu.

The Zoom tool is integrated and linked to NYU Classes. All meetings scheduled in your NYU Classes course site will be accessible to students of that course site without having to email the link. Guest speakers will still need to be emailed the Zoom URL link of their meeting(s).
