Create a Sandbox Course (formerly known as Master Course) - Canvas

Directions

The following instructions are for creating Sandbox Courses previously known as Master Courses shells. A Sandbox Course is used to develop course materials that will be used for academic courses (courses you will find in TitanWeb). If you need an empty course shell for a non-academic course, such as employee training or departmental intranets, please email the UW Oshkosh HelpDesk (helpdesk@uwosh.edu) and request an empty course shell.
