Creating a Courses Project Site
Overview
A project site can be used to collaborate with colleagues inside and outside of the Pepperdine community for group work, committees, training/orientations, and research projects. It offers the same tools and features as an academic class site on Courses, such as options to share resources, facilitate discussion, or offer structured learning. Unlike class sites that are limited to a specific academic term, project sites can span multiple terms or even years. All current Pepperdine students, faculty, and staff can create project sites.
