TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Publishing Content
• Publish Course
• Publish by Module or Section
• Publish Now
• Schedule to Publish 

Instructors have the flexibility to publish individual sections, modules, or an entire course based on their course structure. You can choose to make content available immediately or schedule it for release at a later date.

Publishing Content

Learners will not be able to see any content until you publish the content. You can publish an individual section, module, or the entire course. 

You can also schedule to publish content. When you choose the schedule option you can: 

• Set an assigned date/time for the course start.
• Set a due date/ time.

Publish Course

To publish an entire course, select the course settings and 'Publish Course'. You will then be prompted to choose between publishing now or scheduling.

Publish by Module or Section

Choosing 'Publish All' will publish every section in that module. To publish an individual section choose 'Publish Section'. 

• Tip: Add additional modules for cohort based courses that follow the cohort meeting structure. 

Publish Now

Select 'Publish Now' to make the content available to learners immediately.

Schedule to Publish 

Choose to schedule a course, module, or section to be published to learners at a certain date and/or time. Also choose to set a due date for a module or section. Set an assigned date and due date. 

• The lesson will be published on the assigned date. 
• Select the 'n/a' box if the assigned date or due date does not apply. 

Note: You will not be able to publish if any of your sections contain a blank content block. In these cases you will see a red border letting you know which sections have blank content. 

Once your course has been published, you can still make edits. Learn more here.
