The document provides an overview of the key areas and links in the WebTycho classroom for the LIBS 150 course. The main areas are the left sidebar and class announcements. The sidebar contains important course materials and six key links: the syllabus, course content, conferences, webliography, portfolio, and class members. Course content houses all reading materials and assignments within three course modules. The syllabus outlines course policies and grading. Conferences are for class discussions, and the portfolio displays submitted assignments.
