Adding First Day Access to a Course Page

For courses included in the First Day Access program, a First Day Access page must be added to the course context in the LMS. This allows students to see the required course materials, access the materials online (depending on the publisher), and opt out of the program.

NOTE: Be sure to complete these steps prior to the start of classes, as it may take several hours to complete.

1. Log into myTech and navigate to your course.
2. Click Add a Page in the left menu.
   
   
    
3. In the text box under "Name this page," enter First Day Access.
   
   
    
4. Scroll down and select Learning Tools.
   
   
    
5. On the new page, click Add a tool to this page.
    
    
6. Scroll down and select First Day Access.
   
   
    
7. You are returned to the First Day Access page with the learning tool added. Initially, it will display "1 Course, 0 Materials". This is normal and the course materials and options will automatically appear on this page once the integration process is complete. This will take at least 15 minutes to complete, but could take up to four hours depending on how many other instructors are also adding this page.
   
   
    
8. Click the wrench on the top of the page and select Access.
   
   
    
9. On the Access page, select Students. The page is initially set to be hidden for students.
   
   
    
10. Click the toggle to make the page visible.
    
    
     
11. Click Back to First Day Access at the bottom of the page.
