By default, a regular instructor can't add a program. To add a new program, you need to have Administrator or Course Creator permissions.
Step-by-step Guide
To add a program:
- Go to Site Administration > Courses > Programs > Add/edit programs
- Click the "Add a program" button
- Enter the program settings then click on the "Save changes" button
Many fields in the program settings page have a help icon next to them. If you are not sure what the field means, click on the help icon next to it in order to view a brief description of the field.
Important Notes for Multi-site Deployments Only
- When creating a program, you are given the option to select a site for the program.
- If no sites are selected, the system will register everyone in the system who meets the business rules
- If a site is selected, the system will only register users who meets the business rules AND who are in the site in question
- Once a site is selected, it cannot be changed. If you need to assign the program to a different site, we recommend that you duplicate the program and select a different site at the same time.
- Once you've duplicated the program and assigned it to a different site, you can delete the original program at your discretion if it is no longer needed
