What does a newly created course look like?
A course that has just been created does not yet contain any content. The program will start to take shape once professional professional skills and aspects are added. Students can work on the course through Portfolio assignments.
An opened course looks very similar to the creation screen. Some additional elements include:
- Professional skills: What are the professional skills/core tasks of the program? The process of creating professional skills is explained here.
- Portfolio Assignments: These are formal assignments that students can receive. These assignments result in visual changes to the circular diagram to track progress. The process of creating portfolio assignments is explained here.
