About creating a new course using Central
To use Central to create a course, you must:
Be a member of the LearningSpace Admin group in the server Name & Address book or be entered in the Access Control List (ACL) for Central as a Manager with the [InstructorStaff] role selected. For more information, see “Assigning access to LearningSpace files” in Chapter 2.
(As a member of the LearningSpace Admin group) have “Create new database” access to the server. “Create new database” access is set in the server document in the server Name & Address book. For more information, see the Notes Administrator’s Guide.
You can perform the procedures described in this chapter from any computer connected to the Notes server where Central resides. You can also configure a course on a computer that is not connected to the server and create the course databases later when you are connected. For more information, see “Deferred creation of course databases” in Chapter 5.
Important Before you can create a course using Central, you must first follow the steps in Chapter 2 to create the LearningSpace directory structure and copy the LearningSpace files into the proper directories.
With Central, you create a new course by providing information in a series of dialog boxes. Some of the information in the dialog boxes is required. Fields containing required information are marked by a red flag. 
These ten dialog boxes are used in the course creation process:
New Course Options
Course Information
Course Locations
Schedule Options
CourseRoom Options
MediaCenter Options
Assessment Manager Options
Course Access
Additional Options
