Creating a course without a template

What you have to do

1. Click on "Authoring" (above).

2. Click on "Create" and select "Course".

   • The "Create course" window opens. By default, you create a "Conventional course".

   • If you would like to create a learning path, you must select "With learning path" or "With learning progress" here. You can find out which course is suitable for you on Helpcard Internal link opens in the same window:Setting up a learning path course FELIX 10-005.

3. Enter a title for your event and click "Create".

   • Do not use umlauts and avoid all other special characters except (), /\, -, _. Use the following routine for clarity:
     Title_ if applicable, degree program _ (your last name), example: Marketing_WNB_(Huebner).

   • The Administration area of the course opens.

   • Here you can design the information page for your course and administer important course settings.

4. In the "Execution" tab, select the desired semester to show how up-to-date the course in the catalog is, then press "Save".

5. Click on "Administration" (above) and select "Course editor".

   • The course opens in the editor view.

6. Select the desired course elements under "Insert course elements" (above) (see Helpcards starting from 30-010).

7. Click the red cross (top right) to close the Course editor. Select the "Publish automatically" option to publish the change. 

8. To make your course accessible for your students, under "Administration" open "Settings" and there the tab "Share".
   Add a booking method of your choice under "Access for participants" (see recommendation below). You can learn more about the different access methods in Helpcard Internal link opens in the same window:Publishing course (status), deciding how to offer the course, and cataloging FELIX 10-030.
   Also enter your course in the catalog (see Helpcards FELIX 10-030 Internal link opens in the same window:Publishing course (status), deciding how to offer the course, and cataloging  and FELIX 10-040 Internal link opens in the same window:Renaming a course.

   • To ensure that your posted materials are only accessible to authorised students of the course (see External link opens in a new window:UrhWissG §60), we recommend using a time-limited posting method (see Helpcard Internal link opens in the same window:Publishing course (status), deciding how to offer the course, and cataloging FELIX  10-030) or course enrollment (see Helpcard Internal link opens in the same window:Inserting an enrolment element (access to a course with a limited number of participants) FELIX 30-010). Alternatively, you can set the course access to "private" and enter the students manually via the Members management (see Helpcard Internal link opens in the same window:Members management FELIX 20-020).

9. Lastly, you need to change your course status from "Preparation" to "Published".
