# Courses

import { DataSharingNotice } from "@/components/react/CourseScreens";

A course is a named sequence of dives with a roster. The instructor lays out the
dives, each student is enrolled on every one of them, and the dives and reviews a
student records against the course become visible to that instructor once the
student has been told so and accepted.

**Courses** is on the navigation rail for accounts with instructor tools, and
reachable from the Home screen for everyone else. Creating a course needs the
instructor capability; being on one does not.

## As an instructor

1. On **Courses**, press **New course**. Name it and say how many dives it has.
   Each dive becomes a real plan, named `<Course name> — Dive <number>`, and
   starts unconfigured.

2. A course starts as a **draft**, which students cannot see. Publish it to
   **active** when the sequence is laid out. Add more dives later from the
   **Dives** tab.

3. On the **Roster** tab, add students by email address. Each gets a **course
   invitation**, and nothing is shared until they accept it.

4. Once they accept, the roster row shows how many of the course's dives they
   have logged and how many post-dive reviews they have completed. Open a
   student to read their dives and reviews.

You see a student's dives, plans and post-dive reviews for this course's dives,
and only while their enrolment stands. You see nothing else: dives they log
outside the course are not yours to read. Against a student who has not
accepted, the app states it plainly: "*Name* has not accepted enrolment yet, so
none of their dives or reviews are shared."

Removing a dive deletes its plan. A dive a student already recorded against it
survives as their own log entry, unlinked from the course rather than deleted.

## As a student

A **course invitation** notification arrives, and the course appears under
**Pending enrolments** on the Courses page. Read the disclosure before you
accept.

Take it literally. A post-dive review recorded against a course dive is visible
to your instructor in full, including the symptom and decompression answers it
contains. Dives you log outside the course stay private. **Accept** enrols you
and records the date; **Decline** does not close the door, and your instructor
can invite you again later.

Once enrolled, the course page shows the dives in order, marks which one is
next, and carries a standing reminder that your instructor can see the dives,
plans and reviews you record against it. The same line appears inline on a
post-dive review. Your instructor's name and email are at the bottom of the
page.

Withdrawing ends the sharing: the instructor stops seeing your course dives.
Your own dives and reviews stay yours.
