After you have added sets to your course, it’s time to publish it. When a course is published, all learners will have access to the content. It’s important to note courses must have assignments and learners before being eligible for publishing. So if you have not completed these tasks, you will see a message preventing you from publishing your course.
There are two ways to publish your course:
Steps: Publishing Your Course via the course Summary page
1. If you are within an individual course summary page, you will see an icon in the top right hand corner that says “Course Status Unpublished.” Click on it.
2. After you click, a dropdown menu will appear. Select the “Publish” icon.
3. On the next screen, you will have the option to automatically invite any learners via email after you click publish. This is completely optional. You can always add learners and send out invitations later as well.
4. Click on “confirm and publish.”
Steps: Publishing Your Course via the course home page
1. If you are on the course Home page, you will see three tabs organizing your published, unpublished, and archived courses. Select an “unpublished” course by clicking on the checkbox next to the course title. After the course is highlighted, you have the option to “publish” or “delete” the course.
2. Click the green box with the word “publish” on it.
3. On the next screen, you will have the option to automatically invite any learners via email after you click publish. This is completely optional. You can always add learners later as well.
4. Click on “confirm and publish.”
