Course assignments and course titles
By default, Manage Courses in the Admin Dashboard shows all the Course Assignments in your system for the current academic year. This list should include every class being taught.
Course Assignments are the courses actually set up and used in your system. Each one shows details such as the assigned teachers and the units covered.
Course Titles are the catalogue of all possible course names in each subject and grade level. You choose from these titles when you create a course. See managing Course Titles in Atlas.

Optional: select a Map Type. See Map Types.
Optional: if your Atlas includes a Public Site version, tick Show on Public Site to make the course visible on the Atlas Public Site. This box only appears if you have a Public Site.
Optional: in the Users field, type the first few letters of a name and select the user. You can assign several users to one course.

Users are added as a Curriculum Developer by default, so they can create and edit units and lessons. If you choose Teacher, the user can create and edit lessons only, not units.
