Additional Information

• Create a new course parent is the default selection that should almost always be selected. The exception is if this course should be a Child to an existing course (for example, a language translation) then select “Link to existing course parent”. For more information, see the Manager - Parent Name Translation tip sheet. 
• Estimated duration is the time that is displayed in Player when choosing activities. It typically includes 2 remediations and the Lightening Round/Game Show in the calculation.
• Passing Score is defaulted to 80% when creating a Creator course. All Alchemy courses have a passing score of 100%.
• Course code is specific to each course created and cannot be edited. This must be alphanumeric and contain no spaces.
• Attach a file – Creator files (.sistem) can be played in both eLearning and Player, and by default both are selected.
