Templates

Three templates have been created for you. Use these templates if you are developing your course content as a website which you will later compress and upload into Blackboard.

The following are three commonly used templates for developing course websites. You may choose to use them as they are and when you get more comfortable edit them to suit your needs.

These templates do not include any images.

Top navigation

Use the top navigation template if you have a few topics, short titles and have no subtopics.

index.html (4 Kb)
subpage.html (4 Kb)
sitemap.html (4 Kb)

Left navigation

Use the left navigation template if your website is a number of levels deep and with headings that have long titles – Module, topic, and subtopic.

index.html (4 Kb)
subpage.html (5 Kb)
sitemap.html (6 Kb)

Right Navigation

Use the right navigation template if your website is three levels deep i.e. module, topic and subtopic. Your topic headings are one word. You are also limited to four to five topics per module.
