Once logged in, users have endless customization options when creating a course in Stukent CTE (formally BusinessU). The steps below will walk you through creating a BYOC within Stukent CTE:
Add Class: Click + Add Class and click + Build Your Own Course.
Create Class Name: Users will enter a class name and select Create Class. You'll want your class name to be unique to the course to help differentiate between other courses you create. Instructors will commonly put trimesters or periods. e.g. Principles of Marketing Period 1 or BYOC Spring 2025.
Create a Topic: Before adding any content to the course, users will need to create a Topic with the + Add Topic. This will create an area for the content that users add to their course.
Adding Content
Once a Topic is created, users can now add a variety of materials, including their own content, to customize their course.
My Content: This will include all custom content you have made such as custom assignments, quizzes, tests, videos, etc. Users will select and drag the materials they would like to input into their course and select Save Changes.
Explore: This will include all the materials included with your licenses. Users can select materials to view and copy to their BYOC.
Courses: Users can add content and lessons from our standards-based template courses that are available with your licenses by selecting + Add Content, Courses, and then selecting the course.
You can Drag and Drop and materials you would like added to your course in this split view manager.
Material: This is where users can add Custom Material to their course. Users will select where they would like to add this material and click Save. When users select this new material, they can click Edit to customize this material and add the text they would like for this item.
File: Similar to adding Materials, users can select specific files and documents to be uploaded into their BYOC. Acceptable file types include: PDF, DOCX, PNG, and JPG.
