6: \begin{itemize}
7:
8: \item The current user has an active Author or co-Author role
9:
10: or
11:
12: \item `In-course Authoring'' is set to be available in the course.
13:
14: \end{itemize}
15:
16: To create a new LON-CAPA problem in a specified Authoring Space proceed as follows:
17:
18: \begin{enumerate}
19:
20: \item Select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or
21: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
22: \textbf{Edit course contents}
23: within Main Menu.
24:
25: \item On the in-line menu of the \textbf{Course Editor} screen,
26: click \fbox{Assessment}. Next click on
27: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{stdprob}
28: \textbf{Standard Problem}.
29: \item In the expanded box, select the location where the new file should be stored.
30:
31: \end{enumerate}
32:
33: If the Authoring Space's homeserver is hosting the current LON-CAPA session then
34: the file can be stored. Otherwise, pushing the ``Switch Server'' button will transfer
35: the session to the homeserver, so a new file can be created and stored.
36:
37: Once a Authoring Space location is chosen, a directory (and optionally a new
38: sub-directory) can be selected, and a filename entered.
39:
40: If the chosen location is the course's own Authoring Space, then a ``placeholder''
41: for a problem instance in the current folder can (optionally) be added. If added,
42: the title to display in the course's Contents Listing (and Editor) can be entered.
43:
44: Choosing Yes for ``Use Template?'' will expand the display to permit
45: selection of one of LON-CAPA's standard templates as the initial contents of the
46: new file.
47:
48: If a placeholder was added it will be appended to the existing items in the current
49: folder in the Course Editor. The new placeholder item will be
50: hidden from students until the ``hidden'' checkbox has been unchecked,
51: and the problem itself will have a status of ``published'',
52: i.e., the initial version will have been copied from the course's
53: ``Authoring Space'' to its ``Published Resource Space'',
54: a default metadata file will have been created (and published)
55: including specifying restricting its use to just the current course.
56:
57: After ``Create Problem'' is pushed the problem will be rendered in Authoring Space,
58: with button(s) available for launch of all editor(s) supported in the homeserver's domain.
