Description

https://runestone.academy/admin/get-started

These are not the instructions I would use for Instructors, specifically Steps 2 and 3. Instructors don't need to note the course code or enroll in the open course. They should just 1) browse the library, 2) create an account or log in to their existing account, and then 3) create a course using a textbook. The options on the course creation page are displayed alphabetically by title within each Shelf category.

Can I also suggest that the videos you link in the instructor resources on that page should not be linked there? So much is different now compared to 6 years ago.

Research direction

Start with the linked instructor getting-started page at runestone.academy/admin/get-started and locate its source in the repository. Update Steps 2 and 3 to match the requested instructor workflow, then review the linked instructor-resource videos for outdated content; the work is done when the page reflects the current process and links are appropriate.
