Create a New Course¶
To work with the course features in Codio, you must first set up a course for your students. You can create a new empty course or create a course using share code. Creating a course using share code if often used when you want to create a course from content outside your organization. You can also clone a course.
Create empty course¶
To create an empty course, follow these steps:
Sign in to your Codio account.
Click the Codio icon in the top left corner of the IDE, or click Courses in the left navigation menu on the dashboard to open the Courses page.
Click the New Course drop-down and choose Add Empty Course.
Complete the fields on the Create a new Course form, including the Name, Start Date (optional), Archive Date (optional) and Tags (optional). If you wish to set a different timezone for your course you can do so from the Timezone drop down field
Note
Courses will also automatically archive when the archive date set for the course is reached. This date can be amended (or removed) in the course details area if you require the course to continue to be active
Click Create Course.
Your new course will appear in your Courses area.
Create course from share code¶
You can create courses from code users in other organizations share with you. When using share code, any updates or changes you make in your course can be pulled in by other users who are using the same share code. See Working with Parent/Child Courses.
To create a course from share code, follow these steps:
Sign in to your Codio account.
Click the Codio icon in the top left corner of the IDE, or click Courses in the left navigation menu on the dashboard to open the Courses page.
