Create course

To create a course, you need to pass the parameter of SID, safeKey, timeStamp, course name, folder ID, course cover picture (binary stream), expiration time, course description, classroom setting ID (mainly used to set classroom skin and other options), a course unique ID, headteacher UID, etc. SID, safeKey, timeStamp, and the course name are required. The call returns the course ID and instructions for you to refer to. If you pass the course unique ID, the interface will verify whether the unique ID already exists. If so, it returns the course ID previously created; if not, a new course will be created.

When you create a new course, an IM chat will be created in the ClassIn app automatically. The user's nickname is set as his/her course nickname in the course group chat by default. If you want to synchronize the user name in the School Dashboard to the IM grout chat, please call Modify group member nickname to edit.

Notes:

  1. You can set a headteacher, also named Course Advisor/Main Teacher in the School Dashboard, when creating the course. The headteacher can edit the course in the ClassIn app, such as create/edit/delete lessons and course students in the IM group. The operation in the ClassIn app by headteachers will not be synchronized to your school's system. For example, the headteacher created a new lesson in the IM group. The data of the newly added lesson will not be synchronized to your system.
  2. If you pass an empty value in the parameter of mainTeacherUid, it means you did not pass a value for the headteacher, then you did not set a headteacher for the course.
