Create Course with Course Template

Good to know:


You need authoring rights

To be able to create courses, you need authoring rights. If you do not have authoring rights, please contact support.

How to proceed:

  1. Open the Authoring area (top).
    • The search mask is located in the submenu.
  2. Click on the search mask and search for “Kursvorlage” (course template).
    • In the list, you will find the courses “Kursvorlage Titel der Veranstaltung (Mustermann)” and “Kursvorlage mit Mitteilung Titel der Veranstaltung (Mustermann)”.
    • With the Notifications course element, integrated into the second course mentioned above, you can automatically send messages to your students (see "Notifications" course element).
  3. Click on the title of the desired course template.
  4. Select the Copy option under Administration.
  5. Enter the title of the course and click Copy.
    • Do not use umlauts and avoid all other special characters except (), /\, -_. For clarity, use the following routine: Title_ possibly degree program _ (Your surname) Example: Marketing WI (Huebner).
    • In the info page that opens, you can specify the metadata: e.g., change the description, as well as present the learning objectives, requirements, and certificate.
  6. In the Execution period area under Semester, select the desired semester to display the currency of the course in the catalog and save the entry at the bottom of the page.
  7. Now click on Administration and Course editor.
  8. Change the Short title and, if necessary, the Title in the top course element.
  9. Publish your changes (top right), click Next, and in the Change course access tab under Access for members of the organization, select the appropriate option Private, Bookable, or Open; further information on this can be found here. In the next step Create catalog entry, the course should be added to the catalog if it is to be findable for others. To do this, you must click on the button Add to catalog on the right and select the desired area in which the course is to be entered.
    • To ensure that the materials you post in the course are accessible only to authorized participants of the course (see UrhWissG §60), we recommend setting a time-limited booking method or course enrollment in the Course access.
      Another alternative is to set the course access to Only members of this learning resource (owners, coaches, participants) and enter the students manually via member management (see Member Management HelpCard).
