Folio Template

The Folio Template provides a structural foundation for online courses consisting of editable web-based pages as well as a set of course tools, like discussion forums and assignment dropboxes. Advantages of using the template include:
- Flexible design and structure
- Addresses many of the Quality Matters Rubric standards
- Compliant with the Federal Web Accessibility Guidelines
- Georgia Southern University branding
- Easy to edit and adapt to your teaching styles.
While the use of the Faculty Center’s Folio template is not required, web pages (HTML files) are the most practical and efficient file format to deliver content (text, images, multimedia, and web links) to students. You may also use other document types (Word, PowerPoint, PDF) for your instruction. If you use Microsoft Word, you already have the means to understand how to use Folio’s web page editor.
Caution!!! It is best to install the template in a NEW Folio course shell without any prior content since installing the template may overwrite content files.
If you are designing or redesigning your Folio course content, starting with a fresh course sandbox is recommended. To request a new course shell (sandbox), click the below button.
