###########################
Creating a New Course
###########################
*******************
Overview
*******************
This chapter describes how to create and set up your course:
* :ref:`Create a New Course`
* :ref:`Edit Your Course`
* :ref:`Use the Course Checklist`
* :ref:`Add Course Team Members`
You can also :ref:`Export a Course` and :ref:`Import a Course` through Studio.
You can do this when you need to edit the course in XML.
.. _Edge: http://edge.edx.org
.. _edX.org: http://edx.org
.. _Create a New Course:
*******************
Create a New Course
*******************
#. Log in to Studio.
#. Click **New Course**.
#. Enter course information as needed and click **Create**.
.. image:: ../Images/new_course_info.png
:alt: Image of the course creation page
.. note:: Enter new course information carefully. This information becomes
part of the URL for your course. To change the URL after the course is
created, you must contact edX through the Help site
(http://help.edge.edx.org). Additionally, because this information becomes
part of your course URL, the total number of characters in the following
three fields must be 65 or fewer.
* For **Course Name**, enter the title of your course. For example, the name
may be “Sets, Maps and Symmetry Groups". Use title capitalization for the
course title.
* For **Organization**, enter the name of your university. Do not include
whitespace or special characters.
* For **Course Number**, enter both a subject abbreviation and a number. For
example, for public health course number 207, enter **PH207**. For math
course 101x, enter **Math101x**. Do not include whitespace or special
characters in the course number.
.. note:: If your course will be open to the world, be sure to include the
"x". If it is exclusively an on-campus offering, do not include the "x".*
* For **Course Run**, enter the term your course will run. Do not include
whitespace or special characters.
The Course Run date you enter does not affect the default **Course Start
Date**. See :ref:`Set Important Dates for Your Course` for more
information.
4. Click **Save.**
You then see the empty Course Outline.
.. _Edit Your Course:
************************
Edit Your Course
************************
When you create a new course, the course opens in Studio automatically and you
can begin editing.
If you come back to Studio later, your courses are listed on the Studio login
page.
.. image:: ../Images/open_course.png
:alt: Image of the course on the Studio dashboard
To open the course, click the course name. You go to the Course Outline.
.. _Use the Course Checklist:
************************
Use the Course Checklist
************************
You can use a Course Checklist within Studio to help you work through the tasks
of building a course.
Categories of tasks in the Course Checklist include:
* Getting Started with Studio
* Draft a Rough Course Outline
* Explore edX's Support Tools
* Draft Your Course About Page
From the **Tools** menu, select **Checklists**.
.. image:: ../Images/checklist.png
:alt: Image of the course checklist
As shown above for the **Add Course Team Members** task, if you hover over a
task, a button is displayed that takes you to the page to complete that task.
You can expand and collapse sections of this page as needed.
You can check tasks as you complete them. Studio saves your changes
automatically. Other course staff can see your changes.
.. _Add Course Team Members:
************************
Add Course Team Members
************************
Course team members are users who help you build your course.
Only a team member with Admin access can add or remove course team members, or
grant Admin access to other team members.
Other course team members can edit the course and perform all tasks except
adding and removing other new team members and granting Admin access.
.. note:: Any course team member can delete content created by other team
members.
All course team members must be registered with Studio and have an active
account.
To add a course team member:
#. Ensure you have Admin access.
#. Ensure that the new team member has registered with Studio.
#. From the **Settings** menu, select **Course Team**.
#. Click **Add a New Team Member**.
#. Enter the new team member's email address, then click **ADD USER**.

Adding Files to a Course
###########################
*******************
Overview
*******************
To use images in your course content, or to use other documents such as a
syllabus, you must add the files to your course.
* :ref:`Add a File`
* :ref:`File URLs`
* :ref:`Sort Files`
* :ref:`Find Files`
* :ref:`Lock a File`
* :ref:`Delete a File`
.. _Add a File:
*******************
Add a File
*******************
You can add files that you want students to access in the course. After you add
a file, you must link to it from a component, a course update, or in the course
handouts. A file is only visible to students if you create a link to it.
.. note:: Because the file name becomes part of the URL, students can see the
name of the file when they open it. Avoid using file names such as
AnswerKey.pdf.
.. warning:: If you upload a file with the same name as an existing course file,
the original file is overwritten without warning.
To add files:
#. From the **Content** menu, select **Files & Uploads**.
#. Click **Upload New File**.
#. In the **Upload New File** dialog box, click **Choose File**.
#. In the **Open** dialog box, select one more files that you want to upload,
then click **Open**.
#. To add more file, click **Load Another File** and repeat the previous step.
#. To close the dialog box, click the **x** in the top right corner.
When you close the dialog box, the new files appear on the **Files & Uploads**
page.
.. _File URLs:
*******************
File URLs
*******************
In the Files & Uploads page, each file has has an **Embed URL** and an
**External URL**:
.. image:: ../Images/files_uploads_urls.png
:alt: Image of the Files and Uploads page, with Embed URL and External URL
columns circled
* You use the **Embed URL** to link to the file or image from a component, a
course update, or a course handout.
* You use the **External URL** to reference the file or image from outside of
your course. The external URL does not work if you lock the file unless the
person accessing the URL is enrolled in the course.
.. warning:: You cannot use the External URL as the reference to a file or
image from within your course.
You can double click a value in the **Embed URL** or **External URL** column to select the value, then copy it.
.. _Sort Files:
*******************
Sort Files
*******************
By default, files are sorted by the **Date Added** column, with the most
recently added first.
Alternatively, can also sort the list by the **Name** column by clicking on the
column header.
For either the the **Date Added** or **Name** column, you can switch the sort
order from descending to ascending, and back, by clicking the column header a
second time.
The current sort order is shown at the top of the file list, and the active sort
column header is underlined:
.. image:: ../Images/file_sort.png
:alt: Sorting files in the Files & Uploads page
.. _Find Files:
*******************
Find Files
*******************
The **Files & Uploads** page lists up to 50 files. If your course has more than
50 files, additional files are listed on other pages.
The range of the files listed on the page, and the total number of files, are
shown at the top of the page.
You can navigate through the pages listing files in two ways:
* Use the **<** and **>** buttons at the top and bottom of the list to navigate
to the previous and next pages.
* At the bottom of the page, enter the page number to skip to, then tab out of
the field:
.. image:: ../Images/file_pagination.png
:alt: Pagination in the Files & Uploads page
.. _Lock a File:
*******************
Lock a File
*******************
By default, anyone can access a file you upload if they know the URL, even
people not enrolled in your class.
To ensure that those not in your class cannot view the file, click the lock
icon.
.. note:: The external URL does not work if you lock the file.
.. _Delete a File:
*******************
Delete a File
*******************
To delete a file, click the **x** icon next to the file. You are prompted to
confirm the deletion.
.. warning:: If you have links to a file you delete, those links will be broken.
Ensure you change those links before deleting the file.
