=Page Creation= toc

To create a page, go to the grey menu on the right side of the screen and click the plus button next to the “Pages and Files” option.

Name the page the based on the theory or subject of the chapter you are covering. The name may be too long for the Wiki system to accept, as the names become part of the page URL. Shorten the name if you need to, but try to keep the main meaning. If you want, you may add tags to the related theories in the tags space.

=Page Set Up=

Once you have created the page, you will then provide your summary, key terms, and set up the areas for the outside research and the additional material. For each section, you will create a title (Summary, Key Terms and Definitions, Outside Research, and Additional Material), followed by a horizontal rule, and your content. Each section should have two blank spaces before the start of the next section.

=Table of Contents=

In order for each section title to show up in the Table of Contents (TOC), you need to format them as Headings. Heading Level One forms initial levels on the TOC, with each level down forming subsections. For our purposes, you only need to use Heading Level One, although you can use Heading Level Two for the key terms and the normal level for their definitions if you want the key terms to show up on the TOC.

Once you have formatted each section title, you should insert the TOC by clicking on the Widget option. Select the Table of Contents widget and pick the Embed Table of Contents option (do not pick the Flat TOC option). After you create the widget, move it to the upper right hand corner of the page.

= = =Linking to the Main Page=

After you finish creating your page, you must create a link from the Home Page to your new page. To do this, you must edit the home page, find your chapter in the list of chapters, and turn the normal text for your chapter into a hyperlink to your page. Select the text you want for the hyperlink and click the Link button (it looks like a chain link) and select the page you just created.

After you create your page, you may need to edit the grey navigation menu on the right hand side of the wiki. To do this, you click the “edit navigation” option, and then move the pages up or down so they match the order of pages as laid out on the home page and the syllabus.
