To create a new course lesson plan, start by clicking on the Create Course icon, which looks like.

A lesson plan is also known as a Course Definition. The values you may set are as follows:

Create Course Description

Give each course a unique title. This title will appear on various screens when an administrator, student or instructor is working in a course.

Enter Number of Prerequisites

There may be other courses you want each student to successfully complete before being allowed to enroll in this course. If so, enter the course numbers for those courses, separated by commas, in this space.

Enter Number of Sections

You must have at least one section. This number represents the number of sections of course material that the course will include. Each section will require a separate HTML page, document, authored lesson or URL address.

Enter Number of Tests

Enter the number of tests that will be defined for this course. This does not have to be the same as the number of sections. Set to “1” or higher.

Enter Number of Assignments

This is the number of assignments that will be defined for this course. It does not have to be the same as the number of sections or tests. This may be set to “0” if you do not want to have assignments. Assignments should not be used if there is no instructor assigned to the course.

Enter Number of Sections

Number of Credit Hours

This is the number of credit hours that may be earned for this course. This may be set to “0” if you are not offering credit hours.

Enter Long Description

Create a full description of the Class that will be used for keyword searches in the Student Module. The description will display in a pop-up when the “Info” icon is selected in the Student Module course finder.

Another distinction among standards is the manner in which they specify requirements.

•Performance standards describe how a product is supposed to function. A performance standard for water pipe might set requirements for the pressure per square inch that a pipe must withstand, along with a test method to determine if a specimen meets the requirement.
•Design standards define characteristics or how the product is to be built. The specification that a pipe be made of a given gage of copper would characterize a design standard.
Government agencies are encouraged to write technical regulations and standards in terms of performance, rather than design characteristics.
Still another classification scheme distinguishes between voluntary standards, which by themselves impose no obligations regarding use, and mandatory standards. A mandatory standard is generally published as part of a code, rule or regulation by a regulatory government body and imposes an obligation on specified parties to conform to it. However, the distinction between these two categories may be lost when voluntary consensus standards are referenced in government regulations, effectively making them mandatory" standards.
It is clear, then, that standards cover a broad range of types and serve a wide variety of purposes.
