Build a course, add quizzes and assign it

A course is an ordered set of lessons, with optional quizzes and a certificate. Editors of a space can build one from the space's articles.

Create a course

1. Open a space you can edit and choose the + next to Courses (New course).
2. The course opens on the Build tab. Set the Title and Description: what learners will get out of it and how long it takes.
3. Switch Certificate on if you want a PDF certificate when every lesson is done.

Add lessons

Under Lessons, use the buttons:

• Article: pick an article from the space. The lesson always shows the article's latest text.
• Text: write a lesson right in the course.
• Quiz: check understanding.

Lessons are taken in order. Use the arrows to move one up or down, and Edit to change it.

Quizzes

Set a Pass mark (%) and Attempts allowed (0 = unlimited). Add questions with Add question. For each choose a type, One answer, Several answers or True or false, write the question, add answer options and mark the right ones. Add an optional Explanation shown after answering. To get ideas from an article, choose it and use Suggest 5. It uses the assistant, so it counts toward your workspace's AI allowance, and you should check the suggestions before saving.

Learners complete the course when every lesson is done and every quiz is passed.

Publish

Switch Published on. Published courses can be taken by readers of the space and by anyone assigned. Unpublished courses show Draft and only editors see them. You must publish before you can assign.

Assign it

1. Open the Assign tab.
2. Type a name, address or group, pick them, and optionally set a Due date.
3. Choose Assign.

Assignees are notified straight away and see the course under My learning, even if they cannot otherwise read the space. Assigning a group covers everyone in it. They get reminders as the due date approaches and if it passes.

Follow progress

The Report tab shows counts of Learners, Completed, In progress and Not started, the Average quiz score, and a table of each learner's status, progress, quiz average and attempts. A Certificates list shows who earned one. Learners can verify a certificate with its Verify link.

Good to know

• If a lesson's article is removed from the space, learners can still mark the lesson done.
• Deleting a course asks you to confirm.
• Course progress also appears on the learner's Today page, under Learning due.
