How to Set Up Your Classroom in CampusOS

This is the fast, practical walkthrough of a fully built classroom, using the CIS 690 Capstone Template as the model. Every course you build follows this same shape: a Welcome module, ten weekly modules, and a final module — each made of units, each unit holding materials (Pages, Files, Discussions and Assignments).

Click any module below to open it — exactly like it works in CampusOS — and read the gold “How this fits” note under each unit to see what to build and why. Once you have the shape, the deeper policy and standards material lives in Course Development and Course Management.
