Program A

Write a brief sentence introducing your audience to your program. Here, you can concentrate on what your students will get out of your program.

Using the “Blockquote” text format with relevant keywords for your opening paragraph will help readers quickly identify what information to expect from your page. It can also improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and User Experience (UX).

In one to two short paragraphs, give an overview of your program. In broad strokes, tell your audience what the program is about, what makes it unique, its benefits, and the career opportunities they will have. Remember to keep a tone that matches your unit and is appropriate for your primary audience. Write in the second person. Explore our guidelines for writing for the web.

A horizontal line can be a great way to add structure and hierarchy to your posts. If using lines to define and divide sections, ensure consistency in how and when you use them. An example of a horizontal line can be seen above this paragraph.

To insert a line into your page, first place your text cursor at the point in your text flow where you would like the line to appear. Next, select the “Horizontal Line” button in the toolbar (if this is not visible by default, you may need to first select “Toolbar Toggle” to reveal the expanded range of options).

Add a section title (heading 2)

Dividing your content into scannable sections helps your audience find relevant information on the page quickly and easily using headings and subheadings.

Adding accordions can help you further break down the content on your page and create shorter pages. Labelling them correctly, with a title about the topic they cover, makes a good user experience as users can easily find the information they are searching for.
