Creating a course from a template copies content from the selected content into the course you're creating. To create a course from a template you want to do the following:
hover over Courses on the left sidebar
then click + Create Course
then locate the template you want to use (example: Al-Kitaab 1)
then click the Create From Template button on the bottom of the menu display
then configure course settings and click the Create Course button at the top of the screen
Configuring Course Settings
In the Course Name field, use a recognizable name such as "Arabic 101". It may be useful to add either a section number and / or semester so that you can identify it as you accumulate more courses if you choose to.
Course Name: Enter a recognizable name (e.g., "Arabic 101").
Language: Select the language that will be taught in this course.
Default Due Time: Set the standard time assignments will be due (this can still be changed individually later).
Start Date & End Date: Choose the date the course becomes visible to students (Start Date) and when it will automatically archive (End Date).
Description: Type in relevant details like course goals, office hours, or paste a link to your syllabus.
You can also enable sections in your course, hide the gradebook from students, allow students to leave the course and show vocab stats.
Once you configure all of the course settings, click Create Course.

After that, students will be required to input there textbook access code(s) or purchase access to retain access beyond the 14 day trial period for the content used in the course. After students excercise one of the available purchase options, they receive 18 months of access that begins after the trial period (day 15).

Content Access - Purchase Options

If students do not have a textbook access code (or their previous license has expired), students can purchase access directly from the on-screen payment prompt.
