Create a New Course in Studio#

This topic describes how to use Studio to create and set up a course.

To create and run a course, you can either create an entirely new course in Studio, or you can re-run an existing course. For more information about re- running a course, see Re-Run a Course.

You can also export and import courses as XML files. You can do this when you need to back up a course or edit the course in XML.

Create a Course#

Note

The Organization, Course Number, and Course run values you enter when creating a course are part of the learner-visible course URL and cannot be changed. The base URL for the new course is in the format:

https://your-domain/courses/course-v1:ORGANIZATION+COURSE_NUMBER+COURSE_RUN/

So take care when entering values for the new course.

  1. Open Studio at the URL provided by your administrator.

  2. Click New Course. The Create a New Course screen opens.

  3. Enter information for the new course:

    • Course Name: The public display name of the course. You can override the name later in the Advanced Settings.

    • Organization: Your school or organization. This value becomes part of the course URL and cannot be changed. You can override how the organization is displayed to learners in Advanced Settings.

    • Course Number: The unique number that identifies your course. Note: This value becomes part of the course URL and cannot be changed. No spaces or special characters are allowed.

    • Course Run: The term or unique run of the course. This value part of your course URL, so no spaces or special characters are allowed and it cannot be changed.

  4. Click Create.
