Create a Course

A course is the primary entity of the Learning app.

You can make your courses in 2 ways:

  1. Using the Learning Portal.
  2. Importing them from a spreadsheet (bulk creation)

Using the Learning Portal

  1. Go to Courses on the sidebar, click the + Create button, and select New Course from the menu.

Step 1: Courses -> New Course -> New Course

  1. Fill in the basic details (Title, Short Introduction, etc.).

Course Creation Modal

  1. Click the Create button. You will be redirected to the Course Settings page, where you can fill out the remaining details like metadata, images, and pricing.

Importing from a Spreadsheet

Use this method to upload multiple courses at once. Note that this imports course metadata (Title, Description, etc.) but cannot import course content like Chapters or Lessons.

  1. Go to Courses on the sidebar, click + Create, and select Import Course.

Step 1: Courses -> New Course -> Import Course

  1. Download Template:
  • All Fields: To fill in every available detail.
  • Mandatory: To get only the required fields.
  • Custom: To select specific fields.

Importing from Google Sheet

  1. Map your columns if the headers don't match exactly.
