New Course Options
1. Select an option for how you want to create the course.
Create new blank course – creates a course from the LearningSpace
templates. The course is created with whatever options you specify and
has no documents.
Create from CoursePack – creates a course from a “packed” course. The
new course inherits all the settings and documents in the packed course.
A CoursePack is a course that was created and saved for distribution.
Packing a course saves all the course documents and specified options in
a Notes database so that it can be used to create a new course or
supplement an existing course. For more information about packing and
unpacking courses, see the LearningSpace Instructor Guide or on-line
Instructor Help.
Note
If you are creating a course from a CoursePack, you will not be
presented with all the course options described in the following
procedures. The options have already been specified in the CoursePack.
2. Select a customization Library.
You can use a customization library to modify the appearance and
design of the LearningSpace course databases. A customization library is
a set of templates that an experienced Notes database designer can
modify to change the design of course databases. Any courses assigned
to that particular customization library inherit the design changes. You
can assign any number of courses to a single customization library.
With this option, you select the customization library you want to assign
to the course you are creating. Your choices are:
None – if you do not want to customize the databases for this course
Use default library – if you want the course to inherit design changes
from the default customization library. The default customization library
is the set of templates placed in the “design\default” subdirectory of the
LearningSpace installation directory (usually called “lspace”) when you
installed LearningSpace.
Select from available libraries – allows you to select from existing
customization libraries for the new course. Use this option if a
customization library has already been created that you want to assign
to the new course. If you select this option, select the customization
library from the list that appears.
Create new library – creates a new set of customization templates and
places them in the subdirectory of the Design directory that you specify.
After creating the course, a qualified Notes database designer can
modify the customization templates. If you select this option, specify the
subdirectory of the Design directory in which you want to store the new
