A course
A course is a well defined scope of knowledge intended to be taught in a classroom session. A course is an abstract thing, not tied to a single person - though a single person may be most passionate about a course and often run the first several classes on it.
 
To create a course:
 
#Contact a Protospace directory or Tanner to grant instructor permissions to your account
#Once your account has instructor permissions, you can create courses (or update course descriptions) in Spaceport:
#[[File:Create-a-course.webm|none|thumb|A walk-through on creating a course on Spaceport as of March 2022]]<br />
#Once your course has been made, you can create classes to make it available to members
