Notes for reviewers

This article is about the new JUNO learning management system (LMS). If you don’t see these features on your site, your platform still uses the legacy JUNO courses.

Begin setting up a course with the title, preview text, slug, dates, icon image, and tags.

Before you begin

  • Open the course editor to follow these instructions.

  • See the specifications sheet for text, images, and files.

  • Remember to click Save at the top of the page before going to a different tab in the editor. Otherwise, you’ll lose your changes.

Who can edit this course information?

Add a title, slug, and preview text

In the Course Info tab, fill out these fields:

  • Title: Users see this before they open a course and on the course home page.

  • Preview text: A short description displayed in rotator, grid, or list modules. Users see it before they open a course. It doesn’t appear on the course home page once they open it.

  • Slug: The slug appears at the end of the page URL. This was created automatically when you created the course, but you can change it if you want. Spaces are not allowed.

Add an icon image

Every course needs an Icon image. It displays in rotator, grid, or list modules on your site so that users see it before they open a course. It also displays at the top of the course home page before users start the course.

If you don’t add an icon image, a default gray image displays instead.

To upload an image:

  1. Go to the bottom of the Course Info tab.

  2. Select Upload/Select File(s).

  3. Select + to upload an image from your computer.

  4. Select Save.

Small image file sizes help your site load faster. Follow these specifications:

Image file size: Below 200 KB unless otherwise specified.
Image file type: .jpg unless otherwise specified. This helps reduce the file size. If you need a transparent background, use .png.

Set dates

In the Course Info tab, set the following dates in your computer’s local time. You can type the date and time into each field, or use the date selector:

Select the Calendar icon, then select a day, hour (AM or PM), and minute. Do not click away before selecting all three, or your changes won’t save.

Check your computer’s clock! Dates are set in your computer’s local time, which might change if you have been traveling. Learn how to change your time zone for Mac and Windows.

  • Release Date: When the course becomes available and visible to users on the site. They can open the course home page, but can’t necessarily start taking the course yet.

  • Open Enrollment Date: When users can begin enrolling in the course.

  • Close Enrollment Date: When users can no longer enroll in the course.

  • Start Date: When users can start the course.

  • End Date: When the course closes and users can no longer take it.

Once you set a release date, all other dates become required in order to save your changes. If you aren’t ready to set the other dates yet, set it up without a release date, and save it to work on later.

See Edit course enrollment settings to understand how enrollment dates interact with other enrollment settings.

Add tags

Tags are used to group sessions into different modules and filters around your site. Adding tags to a session makes it easier for users to find content that matches their interests. Learn more about all tags.

In the Course Info tab, select one or more tags to add them to the course. You can select from the dropdown list or type to search.

Remove a tag by selecting X next to it.

At this time, you can only select from tags created in the new JUNO LMS. This is because we are building the new LMS on an upgraded database. Those tags are not synced with the rest of your JUNO platform, which causes some limitations. For example, we can't recommend courses based on user interest tags from the original database.
