Offer Courses and Classes

The Courses section of your dashboard lets you teach what you know — a full multi-week course, a one-off class, a seminar, a workshop or a webinar. You write the material once, decide whether it’s free or paid, and learners work through it at their own pace or together in a scheduled group.

Create a course

1. Open Courses → New Course.
2. Pick what you’re offering — a course, a class, a seminar, a workshop or a webinar. A seminar or webinar is just a short offering with a single session; it uses the same tools.
3. Name it and add a description. This is what people see on your public page before they enroll.

You land in the course builder as a draft — nothing is visible to anyone until you publish.

Structure the content

A course is built from chapters, each holding lessons, each holding content blocks:

• Text — written lessons, composed in the same editor you may know from blogs.
• Video, images and files — picked from or uploaded to your Files library.
• Quizzes and exams — see below.
• Live sessions — a scheduled meeting slot inside a lesson (for cohort-based offerings).

Lessons appear to learners in the order you set. You can rearrange freely while the course is a draft.

Add quizzes and exams

Assessments are built with the same tools as Paperwork → Forms — if you’ve made a form, you already know the builder. Inside a lesson, add an assessment block and create (or reuse) a quiz or exam. For each one you decide:

• Its role — a practice quiz, a lesson quiz, a chapter test, a midterm or a final.
• Its weight in the course grade, and whether passing it is required to complete the course.
• How many attempts a learner gets.

Multiple-choice and numeric questions score themselves. Written answers come to you for grading: open Courses → Grading, and each pending answer is shown with your model answer or rubric beside it. Where you’ve allowed it, an assistant pre-fills a suggested score and a short reasoning for each criterion — you confirm or change it. Nothing is final until the grade is composed of the automatic part plus your graded part.

Price it — or don’t

A course can be free (anyone eligible can enroll directly) or paid. For a paid course you link it to an item in your store with a price, and enrollment happens automatically when someone completes their purchase. Refunds withdraw the enrollment automatically too — unless the learner already finished the course.

Publish

Publishing makes the course live and locks that version’s content — the same rule as forms, and for the same reason: learners are graded against the exact version they enrolled in, so it can’t shift under them.

To change a published course, press Edit as New Version, make your changes in the new draft, and publish it. New learners get the new version; existing learners keep the one they started, including its quizzes and pass marks.

Run cohorts

By default a published course is self-paced — people enroll whenever and work at their own speed, with an optional completion deadline counted from their enrollment day.

For a group that moves together, schedule a run: an enrollment window, start and end dates, a timezone, and optionally a seat limit. When the seats fill, further learners join a waitlist and are moved in automatically, in order, as seats free up. Learners in a run share its deadline and its live session schedule, and get reminder notifications as the deadline approaches.

Hold live sessions

Note

In-page video rooms are not switched on yet. You can still add live session blocks to a lesson and schedule them.

A live session block in a lesson becomes a scheduled meeting for the cohort — an interactive classroom where you present and learners can be brought on screen, a webinar with a view-only audience and hand-raising, or a broadcast for very large audiences. Depending on the provider, learners either join in the page or via an external meeting link (for connected Zoom, Teams or Google Meet accounts).

Attendance is recorded for you, and if the session is recorded, the recording is attached to the lesson afterwards — so learners who missed it (and future self-paced learners) can watch it as regular lesson video. By default, watching the recording counts as attending; you can require live attendance instead.

Award certificates

In the course settings, choose what completing your course earns:

• A Certificate of Completion — issued automatically the moment a learner completes the course, in the learner’s name, with the course title, date and final score.
• A Certificate of Attendance — for seminars and attendance-based offerings.
• Nothing, if a certificate doesn’t fit.

Certificates carry a verification code and QR like the keepsake certificates you may already issue from Certificates — anyone can check one is genuine, years later. They are documents of achievement, not licenses: they don’t expire and carry no special privileges.
