Now we are at the course creation interface. We see a lot of settings for the course. There are two required fields for fill: Course full name and Course short name.

The description for every field appears in the pop-up window after the click on icon with the question on the blue circle.

For example, for Course format we see settings for structure of course in drop-down list. Further there are some more settings. Each course developer determines which settings to choose for the course.

Let us create a Demo Course, for our demo course we fill only required fields, other setting leave default.

Then press “Save and display” button, and course created.

Here it is shown the quickest way to add learning material: we add to the course already available in digital form materials.

First of all some .pdf-files was prepared at the computer, titles of files have proper names. Then we drag-and-drop files to the appropriate place into the course.

Ones more we create an activity for feedback – forum.

We have received the simplest course: resources are .pdf-files, and one activity – forum.

So we have created a course.

In order to set an access to course, open course menu, choose Participant. Here there is an Action menu and in the Drop-down list we click an ”Enrollment method”. At the list of Enrollment methods we see which method is settled for the course. Open eye – method is available, click the icon Edit gives settings for the method. For example “Self enrolment” method has a lot of setting.

There are a plenty activities and resources for construction of learning content. In order to add one to course, we should make “Turn editing on”. Now the tool for creation new course elements is available.  List of activities and list of resources. After the choice one of element s we see a description of chosen element. Let's create a resource Page. We fill necessary fields, click “Save and display”. Now our Demo Page is in the course. I don’t need this page in course, and I delete it. For stop edit mode we should make “Turn editing off”.
