Course Setting

The course settings allow you to add or update essential information about the course, including the Course Name, Course Code, Subject, and Course Status.

You can access the course settings directly from your homepage, also known as "My Courses," or through the settings tab within the course itself. To access the settings from the homepage, click "Settings" next to the course you want to update.

To access the course settings from within the course, click on the 'Settings' tab.

On the Summations platform, you can easily manage the status of your courses to reflect their current state. Courses can be set to one of three statuses: Drafting, Published, or Archived.

• Drafting: This status indicates that the course is still under development and not yet visible to students.

• Published: Once you're ready to share the course materials with your students, you can set the status to Published, making it accessible for enrollment and participation.

• Archived: If a course is no longer active, you can set it to Archived. This removes it from student access while retaining all course materials for your future reference.

Updating the course status ensures your content is effectively managed and visible only to the appropriate audience at the right time.

You can view the course status at the top of your course, displayed next to the course name.

When a new course is created, the default status is set to "Drafting." However, if you were invited by a member of our team, your course may already be set to "Published."

As an instructor, you can update the course settings after joining the course. If your course is still under development and not ready for students, we recommend keeping it in "Drafting" status until all materials are finalized. This ensures the course remains hidden from students until it is fully prepared.

To change your course status to 'Drafting,' navigate to the Settings tab in your course, select 'Drafting' under Status, and click 'Update.
