Set the course details, then sketch the eight teaching weeks. You can refine the generated course after creation.
Step 1 of 11: Course details
Use the official course code, for example CPSC2000.
Optional. Enter one prerequisite statement per line, for example CPSC2070, MATH1000, third-year standing, or permission of the instructor.
Optional. Enter one SME name per line. A single name is written as a scalar; multiple names are written as a list.
Enter one CLO per line. Each week can then be aligned to one or more of these outcomes.
Optional. Add sources to the course library, then classify them as Required or Optional. Only Required sources can be assigned to weeks.
Map each course learning outcome to the selected program outcomes. Matrix selections write the flat CLO-to-PLO mappings. Optional I/R/A designations are set once per PLO column.
Click a matrix cell to toggle a mapping. When a PLO has at least one mapped CLO, click its column heading to cycle blank, I, R, and A. While the heading is focused or hovered, I/R/A keys set the designation directly. Alignment is optional.
Optional. If left blank, NorthStar creates a clearly marked placeholder title for this week.
Optional. Select any known CLO alignments now, or leave this empty and align the week later. Use Ctrl/Cmd-click to select multiple outcomes.
Optional. If left blank, NorthStar creates one clearly marked placeholder subtopic for the week.
Check the course shape below. Placeholder week and subtopic titles, and missing CLO alignments, can be completed later.
