Request creator access and build a course

Teaching is by request

Anyone can learn on PGB Learn, but teaching needs approval so the catalog stays good.

1. Sign in and choose Teach in the top menu.
2. Fill in Public name, About you (up to 600 characters) and What would you like to teach? (up to 1,000).
3. Choose Request publishing access.

The page says "Your request is with our team." If it is declined you see the reviewer's note and can send a new request. When you are approved, the page tells you either "You're approved to publish. New courses are reviewed by our team before they go live." or, for pre-approved publishers, "courses you publish go live straight away."

Start a course

In New course title type a title of at least 3 characters and choose Create. The course builder opens. Your courses are listed on Teach with a status: Draft, In review, Published, Changes requested or Archived.

Set the course details

Select Course details in the outline:

• Title, Summary (20 characters or more are needed to publish), Level, Topic and Estimated hours.
• Issue a certificate on completion.
• Pricing: Access Free or Paid, Currency and Price. Check the course card after you publish to see how a paid course is offered to learners.

Choose Save details.

Add modules and lessons

1. Add module and rename it in place.
2. In the module, choose Lesson to add a text lesson.
3. Select the lesson, give it a Lesson title and write the Content. Content is Markdown; the buttons Heading, Bold, Link, Image, Code, Video and List insert snippets, and the Preview tab shows the rendered result.
4. Tick Free preview if anyone should be able to read it before enrolling.
5. Choose Save lesson. A dot beside the title means unsaved changes.

Use the arrows to reorder modules and lessons, and the bin to delete (you are asked to confirm).

Writing tips

• One idea per lesson, ending with a short recap.
• Use numbered steps with exact button names when teaching software.
• Put at least one lesson as a free preview so people can sample your style.
• Keep lessons non-empty: an empty lesson blocks submission.

Try it yourself

1. Request access (or, if approved, open Teach).
2. Create a course called "Practice course" with one module and two lessons.
3. Mark the first lesson as a free preview and save.

Recap

• Teaching needs approval via Request publishing access.
• Create opens the course builder; settings are in Course details.
• Lessons are written in Markdown with a live Preview.
• You can have up to 100 course drafts.
