If you want to restore the old version of the course, click the Resume button next to the version information.

Course features

A course has a range of features in Peppi, divided into separate tabs. The tabs can be found on the left-hand side of the course general view. Not all the tabs are used in every higher education institute. The figure 1 below is an example of the course view:

Adding an isolated course

You can also add an isolated course in the system and link it to a curriculum or separate study module later on.

NOTE! This feature should only be used in exceptional cases because of the risk of unnecessary courses remaining in the system. As a rule, it is advisable to create a course directly in a curriculum. See the Structure of a curriculum for further instructions.

2. Click + Add new one, and select Study unit from the drop-down menu that appears.
   The system opens the ‘Create new study unit’ pop-up window.

4. When you have entered the desired information, click Save.
5. The system saves the information and closes the Create new study unit pop-up window.
