+## Course Website
+
+Many instructors simply use their {term}`Learning Management System (LMS)` as their course website,
+as most LMS choices have some functionality to define custom web pages,
+but some instructors who may feel limited by the web page functionalities of their LMS may want to
+host an external course website as well.
+If you choose to do this,
+I strongly encourage you to point to it directly from the landing page of your course LMS
+(otherwise students may become confused).

+Many courses utilize an online discussion board system to enable asynchronous communication between students and course staff.
+The {term}`Learning Management System (LMS)` that you are using may already include discussion board functionality,

+## Instructional Text
+
+It has become increasingly user-friendly to author fairly robust text-based content on the internet,
+and as a result,
+rather than relying entirely on a textbook,
+many instructors have become empowered to write their own instructional materials
+(in part, or potentially even in full!).
+We provided an overview and discussion of different options for authoring one's own instructional text resources
+in the [Instructional Materials](instructional_materials.html#online-text) section of this online resource,
+so rather than repeating ourselves
+(and inevitably becoming outdated in two separate pages),
+we will just point you to that page for this specific topic.
