6. At the landing page, users are asked to login (or create new account).

7. As an example Instructor account, I have provided the following credentials: UserName: "instructor@test.com" Password: "Test1!" Use these to login and demo the app.

Example Admin Account Credentials are: Username: "admin@test.com" Password: "Test1!"

3. Once Authenticated, instructors will be able to access list pages for the specific courses they are assigned, as well as a general list of all courses. There is also a search field for a site-global search.

4. Each of these Courses directs to a Student list view.

5. Each Student list item is a clickable link which directs to the board for that student. Here users can post messages and reply to existing messages.
