In this chapter, we discussed the administrative functions you will need to manage, along with the best practices and online resources you can use to make your job easier.

We also reviewed how to establish a grading policy, control content visibility, include student cohorts, tackle beta testing, export and import your course, make the most of edX resources, and finally launch your course.

Next, in Chapter 7, Facilitating Your Course, we will go to cover factors related to facilitating your course. The topics to be covered include how to select your course staff, invite students to enroll, direct your discussions, manage your messaging, create your course Wiki, review course data, supervise student data, manage the grade book, and issue certificates of completion.
