Create or edit a project course

Project team members can create new courses or edit existing courses through the project outline.

Add a new course

Creating a new course from the project:

• Links the course directly to the project.
• Allows the project team to add reviewers.
• Limits authors and co-authors to project team members.

There are two parts to creating a new course from a project:

• Adding a new course to the project outline.
• Creating the new course from the project outline.

Add a new course to the project outline

First, the project lead or another team lead needs to add the course to the project outline:

1. At the top of the homepage, click Projects.
2. In the list of projects, click on a project.
3. In the CREATE section, below the list of existinc courses, click  Add new course.
4. Enter a course title.
5. To the right of the course title, click + Assign course.
6. Select an author from the project team members.
7. At the bottom right, click CONFIRM.
8. (Optional) Click Add a deadline to your course and click a date.
9. Click SAVE.

After that, project team members can add optional project items.

Create a new course from the project outline

Once the course is in the project outline, the author can create the course:

1. At the top of the homepage, click Projects.
2. In the list of projects, click on a project.
3. In the CREATE section, at the bottom right of a course with the label Course not created, click CREATE COURSE.

To add an existing course to a project, the course must belong to the project group or be shared in the group's Catalog or Library. 

Adding an existing course to a project:

• Allows the project team to add reviewers.
