Hi, I teach technical-writer wannabees at Austin Community College (Austin, Texas USA). I'm trying to create a Confluence course for them. I'd like to include one unit on issue/bug/defect tracking using JIRA. That is an important function in JIRA, right?
Can anyone give me some guidance on where to start, what to read?

Hi David:
Take a look at the "agile" page from Atlassian - https://www.atlassian.com/agile + Free learning path courses from Atlassian University - https://university.atlassian.com/student/collection/850385/path/1083901
Those pages will provide you with a vast amount of information for your course design.
Hope it helps.

Hi , This is very high-level information about bug tracking with Jira: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/features/bug-tracking
Additionally, this covers using Jira and Confluence together: https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/resources/guides/extend-functionality/confluence-jira
Note: there are "widgets" / macros available on a Confluence page that can pull Jira issues into a Confluence page, https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-issues-macro/
as well as a Template in Confluence for pulling in Jira issues. You can filter these to only show Bug issue-types for a particular project.
Hope this helps!

Thanks! In just half a day I've gotten all the links I need to set up a neat little JIRA bug-tracking unit for my students. Woo-hoo! Thank you all.

Thanks to all of you for your help and support. I have set up the beginnings of a Jira issue-tracking unit for my tech-writing students here at Austin Community College (Austin, Texas USA):

A bit long-winded; working on that. Is the process I outline on target for how the Jira tracking system is used? (I'm reliving my IBM AIX days)
Hi @David McMurrey ,
Welcome to the community. You may want to look into this free course as a guidance for introducing students to Jira.

Thank you, Benjamin. Does this go to just you, the thread, a group or the entire forum?

Welcome. Not clear on the question. However, the course is publicly available for your students to check out.
David...when you respond, it goes out to the group and not specifically to only one person
