How do I create a new course (Default Course Template setting enabled)?

By default, only a System Administrator or Course Administrator can create a course. A System Administrator can enable a setting that allows all users to create courses.

1. From the Dashboard, click Courses and select +Add New Course.
   
   
2. The Add Course form will appear.
    
3. Enter a course name. The URL Stub: field will populate automatically based on the Course Name: field. The URL stub can be changed if needed, but must be all lowercase letters with no spaces.
4. Configure the Theme Options as needed.
   Header Line 1: Typically this header will be a course code or the name of the institution/organization.
   Header Line 2: Typically this header will be the name of the course.

5. Custom Header Code: and Custom Footer Code: Custom code that can be added at the course level—useful for making one-off changes to a course (e.g., changing a header font size to accommodate a long course name).
   

6. Only System Administrators and Course Administrators are shown the Tags: field.
7. Click Submit to save the course.
