How do I find my course ID or course URL?
Every course that you create has a unique course ID. This holds true whether you create a course from scratch, copy a course from another course, or branch a course from a master. When you direct your students to enroll in your course, you should give them the entire course URL, which contains the ID as a string of numbers at the end. Doing so will ensure your students enroll in their correct course so that you can track their work.
- Go to your instructor dashboard.
- Select Switch/Create Courses from the top right under your name.
- Locate the course name under My Courses.
- The URL is located directly under the course title and the ID is located under the URL.
