How do I create a Project Site?

bCourses Project Sites are a workspace for instructors, support staff, and students outside of official academic courses. For more information about Project Sites, please visit the bCourses Project Sites page on the RTL website.

FAQs

Why don't I see the "Create a Site" button?
