Build a course with modules, lessons and quizzes
Set course details, organise modules, write lessons in Markdown, add quizzes and try them before you publish.
The course builder has an outline on the left and an editor on the right.
Course details
Choose Course details in the outline and fill in:
- Title (up to 120 characters) and Summary (up to 400; at least 20 are needed to publish).
- Level, Topic (for example Mail, Drive, HR) and Estimated hours.
- Issue a certificate on completion.
- Pricing: Access (Free or Paid), Currency (USD or NGN) and Price. Whether a paid course can be bought is shown on its course card, so check there after you publish.
Choose Save details.
Modules and lessons
- Add module creates a module you can rename in place.
- In a module, Lesson adds a text lesson and Quiz adds a quiz lesson.
- Arrows move modules and lessons up and down. The bin deletes them after a confirmation.
- A dot beside a lesson title means unsaved changes.
Write a lesson
Select a lesson. Enter a Lesson title, tick Free preview if anyone should read it before enrolling, and write the Content in Markdown. Buttons insert Heading, Bold, Link, Image, Code, Video and List. Switch to Preview to see how it renders. Choose Save lesson.
Add a quiz
Select a quiz lesson. The introduction is optional. Then in the quiz editor:
- Set the Pass mark (%) and Attempts allowed (blank is unlimited, up to 20).
- For each question, enter the text, choose Single choice or Multiple choice, enter two to eight options, mark the correct ones and optionally add an Explanation shown after grading.
- Add question for more.
- Choose Try the quiz to take it as a learner would, without saving anything.
The editor lists problems, such as a question with no correct answer, until you fix them.
Good to know
- Each quiz has its own pass mark and number of attempts. Check both before you publish.
- Every text lesson needs content and every quiz needs at least one valid question before you can submit.
- Next: Submit for review, publish and update.
