We started this chapter with a discussion of the Next Steps checklist that appears when you open the home page of your new course for the first time. We next moved on to planning your course, and then we worked through how to import content from another course. Next, we dove into adding assignments and content and became acquainted with the Rich Content Editor. After this, we adjusted the basic and advanced assignment settings and then discussed creating different types of assignments. Finally, we explored how to create assignment groups and how to weight grades based on the assignment groups.

After having covered many of the skills that you need in order to add more content to your course, we will continue through the Next Steps checklist in Chapter 3, Getting Ready to Launch Your Course. We will focus on the organization and presentation of your course, and then we will move on to adding students to the course and preparing your course to be published.
