This help page is for course creators and instructors

Content creation in general

Course content is created and edited in the content editor. The course structure consists of one or more chapters, and a chapter can contain one or more content pages. A content page consists of different content blocks, the placement of which can be influenced by choosing the desired page structure. Chapters and pages can be numbered or unnumbered, and this is defined in the course settings.

In a course, a song can be visible, hidden, timed, or delayed. More detailed instructions below.

Visibility settings of the chapter

Content is displayed on the Content page with the help of the structural selection and blocks. It is possible specify the layout of the content on a page by selecting one of the five structure options below the name and description of the page.

Example of a page layout with flat 1/2 selected.

Content pages can be copied and imported from other courses. Both chapters and content pages can be moved around in the course. The location of the blocks on the content page and the structure of the page can also be changed, even if the content has already been created.


Hiding, timing and opening delayed a chapter

In a course, the section is visible by default, but it can also be hidden, scheduled, or delayed. Schedules and delays inform you that more content is coming up and when it will be. This information is on the left side of the course. The time of the next scheduled content that will open is also displayed on the dashboard next to the course.

Hidden chapter
A hidden chapter is distinguished by an icon.
In the Courses view on the dashboard, only the administrator can see that a course has hidden content.
Timed chapter
The course card shows when new content is about to be opened.
Delayed opening can be defined with an accuracy of one minute.

Delayed timing can be used when you want to set a minimum duration for completing a course or when you want to stagger the opening of course content. The opening of a delayed chapter is calculated from the moment the learner starts the course. That is, when a section is set to delayed opening, its opening time is individual depending on when they have opened the first page of the course. It does not matter when the membership started.

Inserting content blocks

A content page may contain a desired number of content blocks that are created with the Add Content function.


Order of content blocks in mobile view

If you know in advance much of the course will studied on mobile devices, the preferred layout for the content pages is 1/1.

If a 1/2 or 1/3 layout is used, the blocks are displayed on the mobile device one column at a time. The contents of the left column are first displayed from top to bottom, then the contents of the second column are displayed from top to bottom, etc.

If the 1/1-1/2-1/3 combination layout is used, then each layout will show the content from left to right in the by-column.
