When getting started with Workplace for Epic, one of the first steps is to create course "shells"—basic course placeholders that will later be populated with content.
To do this, you can prepare a simple CSV file containing the course full name, short name, and category. For example:
shortname,fullname,category_path
ED Nurse 100,ED Nurse 100,Epic
Based on the example above:
-
"ED Nurse 100" is used both for the course's full name and last name
-
"Epic" is the name of a category you created where all of the courses will be stored.
Once your CSV is ready, follow the steps below to upload your course shells.
Step-by-step Guide
To upload course shells:
-
Go to Site Administration > Courses > Upload courses
-
Either drag and drop the CSV file or click the 'Choose a file' button and select the file in the file picker
-
Select appropriate import options carefully:
-
Upload mode: Create new courses, skip existing ones
-
-
Click on the "Preview" button
-
Review the results in the preview screen to make sure there aren't any errors.
-
Click on the "Upload Courses" button at the bottom of the page
Once the upload is done, the "Courses total" and "Courses created" in the summary should match and the "Courses errors" should be 0 as per the screenshot below. If there are errors, you can scroll through the list of results on the same page to identify the errors.
