Creating Courses

    Column A-Course ID: Example - TINSTRUCTOR101FA05
    Where TINSTRUCTOR = Instructor user name, 101 = first course in season, FA = Fall (Other seasons = WI, SP, and SU), and 05 = 2005
    Column B-course name: Enter the title of the course (example: Literature Circles)
    Column C-course description: Enter a short description of the course
    
3. Save the file as follows:
    File name: create-courses-location-date (example: create-courses-esd113-5-17-05)
    
4. Send it to aallen@psesd.org as an attachment

Notes:

1. Maximum disk quota size for a course is 50 MB. Keep this in mind when uploading files that are large (PDFs, PowerPoints).

2. Please archive inactive courses and send me the course number so that I can delete them from the system. When it's time for you to reactivate the course, send me (aallen@psesd.org) the archived course in an attachment and I'll upload it.
