[Using Sakai] Home Page Components

[Marshall Feldman]

Hi,

My university is switching from WebCT to Sakai next fall. Currently, I 
have been unable to get an answer about customizing the home page of a 
course. I want my course to have various tools -- announcements, chat, a 
calendar, forums, email -- but I don't want these things taking up real 
estate on the course's home page. How can I include the tools in the 
course and still have a clean home page displaying the course content I 
want?

Also, the course content I need is on a "fluid" html page. Ideally, I'd 
like to include some of these components on the pages (particularly 
announcements and a list of upcoming deadlines, as well as an icon to 
indicate messages await the user). Is there some way to incorporate such 
things in web pages designed and uploaded to Sakai?

Thanks.
