Printing    

At some point in your online course you are bound to want to print something. This could be impacted by something called frames. Frames are used by most Course Management Systems (CMS - e.g., Blackboard, WebCT, etc.) so that your navigation buttons are always available on the left-hand side of your screen regardless of what you're looking at in the "content" area. 

One of the downfalls to frames are that they can sometimes cause confusion when it comes to printing. Think of each section of your online course site as a separate section. If you want to print a specific section you will first need to tell your CMS which section you want printed. It is not necessary to print the Course Menu buttons. Rather you will most likely want to print the content area of the page. The screen shot below displays a red border around the content area in WebCT.
