• Publishing a Course 
• Publishing a Unit 
• Publishing a Lesson 

After creating a course, an instructor can publish an entire course, individual units, or lessons. When publishing a course, choose between publishing now or scheduling a date and time to publish the course. 

Once a course has been published, learners can join with the course code. Learners can also be invited to a course or find a course that has been shared to a collection. 

Note: If the course has a statewide reach the course will need to go through a leveled review process in ordered to be approved prior to publishing. Learn more about the review process here.
