Welcome to Mason Course Blogs, powered by WordPress
Course Blogs is a WordPress site for faculty to use for their courses.
Course Blogs is powered by WordPress, a web publishing platform that enables site builders to set up a web presence quickly and easily. It provides a set of standard templates and plugins with which to customize your site. This tool is maintained by Information Technology Services (ITS) at George Mason University.
Create a Site
Mason faculty can quickly create a WordPress site from within a Canvas course. All faculty and students in the Canvas course will automatically be given access to the WordPress site. Access to WordPress will be from within Canvas in order to authenticate users. Instructions >
Assistance
Course Blogs is intended to be a self-service tool. ITS offers assistance in setting up sites, adding users, and saving your site contents but will be unable to provide advanced training or design consultations. There are many resources available for jumpstarting your site including the web-based WordPress manual and WordPress Lessons and Linkedin Learning.
Featured Information
