Course Creation Wizard

Overview

The Course Creation Wizard enables users to create Courses through an easy workflow. The Wizard consists of a series of pages that breaks up the numerous aspects of Course creation into a sequence of manageable pieces. Instructors can use the wizard to complete the initial setup of a Course in one easy-to–follow process.

Note: Only Courses may be created through the Course Creation Wizard. Organizations may not be created through this method.
