I. Accessing the Courses Module
Log in to your dashboard and select the Courses tab from the top navigation menu.
Inside the module, click + New Course to enter the setup interface.
II. Initial Configuration (The Overview Tab)
When you create a new course, the Overview tab serves as the "landing page" configuration where you define the course's public-facing identity.
A. Course Information
Course Title: Enter the official name of your educational program.
Course Slug: Customize the URL suffix used to access the course directly.
About Section Title: Create a custom header for the introductory section of the course.
Duration: Specify the estimated time required to complete the course in the provided text field.
B. Enriching the Course Description
The Course Description area features a comprehensive rich text editor that allows you to build engaging and interactive content. You can use the specialized toolbar to:
Format Text: Apply bold, italics, or underlined styles, and adjust text alignment or font colors to emphasize key points.
Organize Content: Use bulleted or numbered lists to make the syllabus scannable, and insert horizontal lines to separate distinct sections.
Embed Media: You can integrate various media types directly into the description using these specialized icons:
Link: Insert hyperlinks to external websites or documents.
Video: Embed videos to provide visual instructions.
Image: Upload and place images directly within the text to illustrate concepts.
PDF: Use this icon to embed PDF documents directly into the description.
Media: paste a media URL to insert specific playback frames or external media content.
Interactive & Structural Elements: Add detailed tables for schedules or insert blockquotes to highlight important takeaways.
Advanced Editing: Use the Source view to directly edit the underlying HTML for complex custom layouts.
C. Visuals and Organization
Course Image: Upload a cover image by dragging and dropping a file into the designated upload area.
Category: Tag the course or click + Add Category for easier filtering.
Visibility: Define your target audience by selecting one of the following:
Public: Open to all visitors.
Users: Restricted to registered platform users.
Invited Only: Restricted to specific users invited by an administrator.
Programs: Programs: Linked specifically to participants within a platform program. When this is selected, you can specify the Program and even the specific Round where the course is required. This allows you to set the course as a prerequisite, ensuring participants complete the material before they are eligible to advance to a subsequent round.
III. Building the Course Structure
Organize your material using the structural elements located on the right side of the interface:
Add Unit: Use the + Add Unit button at the top right to create the primary chapters or modules.
Add Section: Use the + Add Section button within the Overview area to create specific topical divisions or sub-headers.
