To add a new category of courses, you must haven Course Creator or System Administrator permissions. Once added, the category will automatically appear in the top menu under Course Catalogue > By format if and only if it contains courses visible to learners. In other words, categories that are empty are not displayed in the course catalogue.
Step-by-step Guide
To add a category of courses:
- Go to Site Administration > Courses > Add a category
- If you do not see the Site Administration > Courses section, it's because you have not been granted the role of Course Creator in the context of the learning environment. We suggest you read this troubleshooting article.
- Specify the parent category for the new category you are about to create
- Give the new category a name
- Optionally give the category and ID Number and Description
- Click on the "Create category" button at the bottom of the page
