# Getting Started with UDT Courses {% embed url="" %} This video has everything you need to know! {% endembed %} ## Creating a Course {% hint style="warning" %} You'll want to have a dataset before you begin! No labels are needed. {% endhint %} You can create UDT courses online in a couple easy steps. First navigate to [universaldatatool.com/courses](https://universaldatatool.com/courses), then click "Create a Course". ![Create a Course](/files/-MHsIcqo9UhRWea2yE82) Now you just need to upload your dataset. You can drag and drop or select your dataset here. The samples will be used to construct tests! ![Upload the Dataset](/files/-MHsJH0Itg8Uq2hPgNFs) You should now be inside the course editor! ## Editing a Course Every course has an Instructor URL and a Student URL. Your Instructor URL has a secret code in it that allows you to come back, view passing students and edit the course. So don't lose it! After you create a course it should be in your address bar. {% hint style="info" %} Here's an example of an Instructor URL: And here's an example of a Student URL: See how the Instructor URL is longer and has an "edit\_key"? {% endhint %} We can now add sections, tests, exercises, quizzes and explanations to create a full training course. ### Creating a Course Item Anytime you see this icon, you can create a new course item. ![Create a new course item](/files/-MHsM3VtgJHGoXf0Qhle) ![After clicking the Icon, you can select a new item to create](/files/-MHsM8cQt1HvIEMgYCxl) ### Markdown Descriptions It's just markdown! Put whatever you want inside to explain the motivation of your dataset or specific details. Maybe start with a general overview, then do a deep dive in a second section. ### Question / Quizzes Quizzes are used to make sure that your labelers read the preceding paragraph. ![A quiz quickly tests the knowledge of your labelers.](/files/-MHsKbqRTlb6rv2dSyNn) ### Tests / Exercises **Tests and exercises are the bread and butter of a UDT course.** They make sure your labelers actually know how to label with real examples. #### 1. Select the samples ![Most people just pick samples randomly :shrug:](/files/-MHsMtBBDBGXKKHxM59n) #### 2. Edit the Solution Here you can add solutions to the dataset. **If your dataset already has labels, they'll automatically be imported.** Your labelers will be tested on these solutions! ![Label some data!](/files/-MHsN4tOQclXaZ0G9N74) #### 3.
