Although a folder and a project can serve similar organizational functions, a project carries additional information or "meta-data" such as "Start Date" and "End Date". A Project has its own mini-progress bar for students to track. A project will show up in the browser as a "project" where a folder will not.
From the homepage click the Editor icon located on the course card that needs either a folder or a project added.
