Summary:

Catalog administrators can use geographic regions to categorize classroom session locations. In the legacy user interface (UI) learners can filter the Course Calendar by region to find courses near them. Learners who have the new UI enabled in their profile see the responsive Course Calendar, which they can filter by timezone rather than region.

After creating a new geographic region, you will need to configure its permissions if you want learners to be able to use it to filter the legacy UI Course Calendar, and other administrators to be able to use it to categorize classroom sessions in the Catalog Editor.

If you provide users with read-only permission, they can:

• Filter the legacy UI Course Calendar by the geographic region
• Filter the list of sessions in the Session Administration tab (under the Teach menu)
• Assign it to a classroom session in the Catalog Editor and Course CSV loader

If you provide users with unrestricted access, they can also:

• Update or delete the geographic region
• Update the permissions assigned to it
