   13: Courses have a Top-level map which defines the whole course. This Top-Level
   14: map will often contain maps corresponding to homework assignments,
   15: chapters, or units. To view your maps, you will need to make them part of
   16: a course.
   17: 
   18: When a course is first created a top-level map will be generated. This top-level
   19: map will be an ``internal'' sequence file which is managed using the 
   20: \textbf{Course Editor}.  It is also possible to set a course's Top-Level map to
   21: be a published sequence, but that is very rarely done.  In that case the Course Editor 
   22: would no longer be used to manage course content.
   23: 
   24: In the typical case a course's ``Main Content'' arae corresponds to the top-level map, 
   25: an the Course Editor is used to add, remove or re-order content within it. Users 
   26: assigned the role of Course Coordinator in a course will upload content 
   27: or import published content into the course. Folders and sub-folders
   28: can be created using the Course Editor, and content uploaded/imported into them.
   29: 
   30: The content can include published maps (both sequences and pages). Sequences will
   31: appear as folders in the Course Contents listing.  See the Course Coordination manual
   32: for more informtion.      
   33: 
   34: Your Domain Coordinator may have assigned you rights to request courses.  If so, visit
   35: your roles screen, and select the ``Request course'' item in the Functions menu. If not,
   36: you should contact your Domain Coordinator to ask about course creation.
