If you used eLearning in Sakai in previous semesters and have content that you want to reuse, you can import that from the previous course. Go here for complete instructions on how to import your content.
Associate Section Roster(s)
Students are associated with your course based on the section number. For students to be enrolled in your course, you will need to associate your rosters with your course. Go here for a tutorial on how to associate your rosters.
Enroll TAs or other Participants
Your students are loaded automatically when you associate the rosters. But you will need to add any TA(s) or other non-student roles that you want to have access to your course. Go here for a complete tutorial on adding and managing TAs or other participants.
Publish Your Course
Your course is created as "unpublished" to allow you to make any changes you want to make before permitting students into the course. Be aware that files you place in Resources are, by default, available to students, so you do not want to place sensitive information in this location.
Once you are ready for students to access the course:

- Check the box beside "publish site" and click Update.
