ADMINISTRATOR'S GUIDE TO TWEN - Westlaw

6 Creating a TWEN Course
COURSE CREATION WIZARD
The Course Creation Wizard makes it simple to set up courses.
• The wizard guides you through each step needed to create your course.
• A status bar is displayed on the wizard dialog box so you always know your progress during the
course creation process.
• By default, the wizard creates a course home page, which is the entry page for your class. This page
includes a course title, space for a graphic, a course schedule, and a listing of e-mail addresses.
You can modify the course home page after it has been created.
Note After you set up your new course, you can update and expand your course offerings at any
time. See “Understanding Course Elements” on page 13. for more information.
To create a course, complete these steps:
1. Click Create Course on the My Courses page. The Introduction page of the Course Creation Wizard
is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-2.

2. Click Next to display the General Course Information page.
3. Type the name of your course in the Enter the name of your course text box.
4. If you do not want to display your last name next to the course name on your school’s list of
courses, clear the check box below your course name.
5. Select the course term, (e.g., Fall 2011).
• This term is used to determine the time frame during which someone at your school can register
for your course and when your course appears as an active course.
• The default term dates are Spring (December 15 to June 15), Summer (May 15 to September 1),
Fall (July 15 to January 15), and Full Year (August 1 to June 15).
• You can modify term registration dates on the Course Administration Information page.
• Choose a course topic from the drop-down list. For some topics, you can choose a subtopic to
filter your topic list (see Figure 2-3). For example, you might choose First Year Courses as the
topic and Constitutional Law as the subtopic.
