6. Setting Up a Course

When you begin to set up a course, the first step is to plan and specify two types of basic information.

• Course information, such as the course title and number, remains true whether the course runs one time or multiple times.

• Course run information, such as the course staff and start date, can change every time the course runs.

After you plan your course and course run information, you enter it into either Publisher or Studio, depending on whether your course will be on edx.org or on Edge.

• For courses on edx.org, you plan your course and course run information, and then you enter that information in Publisher. Publisher is a companion to Studio and is used to create About pages. For more information, see Creating and Announcing a Course Using Publisher (edx.org Courses).

• For courses on Edge, you plan your course and course run information, and then you enter that information in Studio. For more information, see Add Course and Course Run Information in Studio (Edge Courses).
