What is the Course Creation Tool?

The Course Creation tool has two ways in which you can setup a course:

Create a CourseLink course site is used if you are creating a new CourseLink for the first time.
Update a CourseLink course site is used if you have already created a CourseLink site for your course, but need to add or remove sections (E.g. adding an auditing section).

Review the sections and courses available through WebAdvisor before creating a CourseLink course site.
