3. Queries?
Why do I need to set the number of topics to 20?
0 This setting determines the number of week/topic sections that appear on
the course home page.
0 As you can see from our template structure, in additional to the lesson
contents, we’ve also included sections for assessments and resources – so
we need a few more extra sections.
Why do I need to turn availability to not available to students?
0 This setting determines whether students can access your course.
0 We suggest you to turn it into not available to students so the students will
not be able to access your course while you’re still in the middle of
preparation.
0 **Remember to reset it to This course is available to students after editing.
