Create a Course Site

1. Click Worksite Setup in the left toolbar. If you do not see Worksite Setup , make sure you have first clicked the My Workspace tab at the top of the screen.

   
   

2. The Worksite Setup screen shows all the course and project sites of which you are a member. Click the New link located in the top toolbar.

   

3. The Course Website radio button is selected by default. From the Academic Term dropdown menu select the term in which the course will be given. Click the Continue button.

   ATTENTION: You must be listed as the instructor of record in the Online Schedule of Classes to associate the class roster with a bSpace course site. If you are not listed as the instrctor, you can still create a site and add participants manually.

4. Mark the Check Box indicating the course number you would like to add to this site. Then click the Continue button . This associates a class roster with your website.

   

   Note: Associating multiple rosters to a course site. You may add more than one course to a course site. For example, if you are teaching multiple sections of the same course, or cross-listed courses, you can create one course website for all courses. By associating two rosters with a single site, you reduce redundancy and ensure that students who register for either course will be included in the course email list.

5. On the Class Information screen, enter basic information about the course site. The Site Title is set to a default name, but you can change it at this time. In the Description field type a description for the site or contact information and office hours. This description will appear on your site's home page.

6. (Optional) In the Short Description field type a brief description of the course. This description will appear in a publicly viewable list of course sites.
