Overview

Faculty can create their own courses in iLearn. The self-service creation method removes any lag time you experienced waiting for your course to be created. In addition, this process removes the need for a roster association; when you create your site, your roster is automatically added. This document provides detailed instructions for accessing the Worksite Setup tool and using it to create your iLearn course sites.

Please Note:

1. The Create New Site button is added to the Site button and the profile icon on the top red banner area for quick access.                 

2. Unpublished sites can be published with a single click. The button cannot be missed! See description on the next page.
