-level Metadata

Navigate to the Course-level Metadata tab.

This metadata applies to the course as a whole. Most of this metadata should have been added automatically or by OCW staff. The following sections should be checked and metadata added if needed.

1a. Course-level Metadata / General / Course Owner

A Course Owner will usually already be assigned to the course. If no owner has been assigned then add the OCW production manager, Joe Pickett (jpickett), as the Course Owner. Course-level metadata cannot be added in the CMS unless the course has an owner assigned.
