Choose which students can join, set how assignments, quizzes and exams count, publish the course and share its entry code.
Students can’t see a draft course. Before you publish it, tell Lena who can join and how the final grade is made up.
The course’s Owner and its Teachers can do this.
A rule names a group of students who can find the course and join it, such as 100-level students in the
Department of Psychology. Under Who can join, choose Add rule. Pick All faculties or Select
faculty, then All departments or Select department. Add Levels to narrow it, or leave them empty to
include every level. Choose Add rule.
Students of the Department of Psychology can join.
Add more rules for more groups. A K-12 school picks grades and arms instead.

Set the grade breakdown
The grade breakdown decides how much assignments, quizzes and exams each count toward a student’s final grade.
Under Grade breakdown, set the Assignment weight (%), Quiz weight (%) and Exam weight (%). They
must add up to 100. A new course starts at 20, 30 and 50. Choose Save.
Who can join and the grade breakdown, set.

Publish
Choose Publish at the top of the course, then Publish again to confirm. Students your rules cover can now
find the course and join it.
5
Share the entry code
Choose ⋮ (More actions) at the top of the course, then Copy entry code. Share it with your students in a
message, on a slide or on the board.
The entry code is in the course’s More actions menu.
In Lena for Students, students covered by your rules see the course in their list of courses to join. Anyone with the
entry code can join too, even if no rule covers them. Once they’ve joined, they appear on the course’s People tab.
You can’t add students yourself. See join a course.
New courses accept students from the start. To stop anyone new joining, go to Enrollment on the Settings tab
and turn off Accepting new students. Students already in the course keep their access. To let students join again,
turn it back on and choose Accept students.
Lena says “Set the grade breakdown” when I publish
The three weights don’t add up to 100. Choose Go to settings, change the weights under Grade breakdown until
they total 100, and choose Save.
Lena says “No eligible classes” when I publish
You haven’t said who can join yet. Choose Go to settings, then Add rule.
I can’t add a rule: “Already covered”
A rule you already have includes that group, such as “All faculties”. To narrow it down, remove the wider rule
first.
I can’t remove a rule: “Keep at least one rule”
It’s the last rule on the course. Add the new rule first, then remove this one.
A student can’t find my course
Check that the course is published and that Accepting new students is on. A student sees the course in their
list only if one of your rules covers their department and level. If none does, give them the entry code.
