Depending on the capabilities assigned to teachers, instances must be added to their courses by admins or managers.
Create an initial set of presets
Pulse comes with initial pre-installed presets. You can customize these presets to fit your needs or create new ones. If preferred, you can also hide all presets. Teachers can use the Pulse activity without any presets.
