Course Builder Launcher

2. It will open a docked window like so:

Launch Course Builder

With Course Builder Launcher open, click whichever task you want to perform. Note: Always use the correct version of course builder to match your course.

Note: You cannot open multliple copies of the same course builder simultaneously. I.E. - If you already have Course Builder 3 running, clicking "Create or Edit a Brain 3 Course" will take you back to the existing Course Builder 3 window instead of spawning a new one.

Advanced Functions

You can also right-click the taskbar icon to show some additional options:

Move To:

Allows you to move the docked window to any of your available displays.

Pop Out:

Allows you to open the launcher in a separate window instead of a docked window.

2. Open the drop down list, and choose "Only show notifications". Then, click ok to close the window. From this point forward, CourseBuilderLauncher should always be visible in your system tray.

Try this second:

If the Course Builder Launcher icon doesn't appear in the system tray "settings" panel, there's a good chance it has not been launched. Find Course Builder Launcher in your start menu (or using the desktop shortcut created during installation). After the app has opened, follow the steps above.
