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.
You can start setting up a course with the title, slug, text, dates, images, videos, and tags.
Before you begin
Open the course editor to follow these instructions.
See specifications for text, images, and files.
Title
Slug
Preview text
Body
Release, start, and end date
Once you set a release date, the other dates, including enrollment, become required in order to save. you can set up the course without a release date and save it to work on later, if you aren’t ready to set other dates yet.

[SCREENSHOT of location of these fields, in context with FET title]
In the Course Info tab, fill out these fields:
Field | Notes | Specification |
|---|---|---|
Title | Users see this before they open a course and on the course home page. | Character limit: 255 (Or we recommend about 60 so that the name doesn’t get cut off in some modules.) |
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. | Character limit: 78 |
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. | Character limit: 67Each slug must be unique. Spaces aren’t allowed. |
Body | Appears on the course home page before users start the first lesson. Use it to introduce what the course is about and share anything you need users to know before they start the course. | Character limit: N/A |
Tips for using the text editor
