Courses Module¶

"Courses" Module allows you to create, preview, and edit courses, manage their content, and organize courses using categories. It can also be used as a teacher curriculum: teachers can structure learning material lecture by lecture.

Course structure supports Chapter, Sub-Chapter, and Lecture. You can also add Quizzes to the course content (for example, one quiz per lecture), so students can pass checkpoints and complete the course step by step.

⚠️ Courses can be accessible for different roles (for example, Teacher and Administrator) depending on your school settings.

Overview: Courses and Categories¶

Courses are created and managed through the Courses section in the main menu. Categories are managed in the Courses → Categories button and can be assigned to courses by the Add or Edit option.

1. Open the “Courses” section in the main panel to view the courses list.

   ⚠️ If the Courses module is not visible in the left navigation menu, please contact the Administrator of your institution and ask them to enable this module in the School Workspace. The Administrator should navigate to Settings → Workspace modules within the School Workspace, locate the Courses module in the list, and enable it.

2. Use filters to find courses by Caption or Status.

3. Open “Courses” → click “Categories” button to view and manage course categories.

Creating a New Course¶

1. Go to the “Courses” menu section and click “ADD” in the upper-right corner of the page.

2. Fill in the basic course information.

   Complete the following fields:

   Caption: Enter the full name of your course. This is a required field.

   Categories: Select the category to which the course belongs from the list. This helps students find your course in the catalog. Categories must be added in advance via Courses → Categories button.

   Description: Use the text editor to add a detailed course description. You can format the text (bold, italic), add lists, links, images, and videos. This description will be displayed to students before they start the course.

   Status: At the bottom of the form, select the course status:
   Active — the course is visible and available to students/administrators.
   Draft — the course is hidden during development.

Important: Remember to click the Submit button from time to time in the lower-right corner of the page to avoid losing your changes.

Hover over the required subchapter to display the toolbar (4 icons).

5. After finishing the editing, click “Submit”.
6. Repeat these steps for each additional lecture.
