Tahoe Studio & LMS User Guide
Setting up your course
You will use the Studio course-building tool for most of the course setup tasks. The Content, Settings, and Tools sections below map directly to the dropdown menu you'll see along the top of your course in Studio.

Much of your course planning will take place outside of Studio. You'll want to map out your course content and flow before you begin building it.
