The Create Course widget provides a simplified option for users to create courses quickly without access to the Course Management tool. Using this widget, instructors and other non-administrative roles can quickly create a new course offering directly from their organization homepage. To create a course using the widget, the user enters a course name, selects a department, and creates the course. The user creating the course is automatically enrolled in the course with a predefined role (determined by the configurations set for department association).
The Create Course widget is an organization level tool. While it can be added to any homepage (Organization, Department, etc.) users with permission to create courses will see ALL departments that have been configured to work with the widget.
