5. Fill out the Title field, which is going to be the title of your course. Optionally, fill out the Description field to help describe your course, then click the Next Step button.

   The Course Path URL comes from what was entered in the Title field. Edit the course path URL according to your needs, or keep it the way it is.

Even when your default contact is enrolled, it won’t show in the Enrollment area. It is hidden to avoid affecting your course completion average. That information will be available in your Contacts area. Click on your default contact, and the enrolled courses will show under the Enrollment tab.
