A basic course page is a core custom content type used to add basic general content course information to your web site. For example, you might post basic information about your department information, graduate and undergraduate academic program information, etc. These are not course pages specific to a particular semester or faculty member, rather it is general information about the course similar to what might be published in the bulletin. The reason you would want to create duplicate information for the bulletin content is that by having the courses in your site, you can link the courses to faculty members. The fields we support in our basic course content type are:
Fields
Title Course and Number - This is the main page title of the course that is displayed at the top of the page and in the site menu. See below.
Body - this is the main content area of your news article. You can add basic content with formatting, and images. See below.
Sidebar - this is an additional area where you can add highlighted content on any page. This can be formatted text and images. See below.
