Create Your First Course

After logging in you land on the Courses dashboard. Click New course, type a Course name, choose Blank under Start from (or a template; see Start a course) and click Create course. A blank course has one module ("Module 1") containing one lesson ("Lesson 1"), and opens in the course editor. Click the course title at the top of the sidebar to rename it.

The left sidebar shows your course outline. Click Add Module at the bottom of the sidebar to add a module, and the + that appears when you hover a module (Add lesson) to add a lesson to it.

To rename a module or lesson, right-click it and choose Rename, then press Enter; the same menu has Duplicate and Delete. On a lesson, Shift+F10 opens the menu from the keyboard. Drag lessons to reorder them or to move them into another module.

Click a lesson in the sidebar to open it. In an empty lesson, pick a block type to get started. To add more, use the + between blocks (or Add block at the end) to open the block picker, where you can type to search by name. Press Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) to search blocks from the keyboard; the block you pick is added at the end of the lesson.

Each block's settings are edited inline in the block itself. Hover a block for its toolbar: drag to reorder, move up or down, duplicate, or delete.

Press ? (outside a text field) for the keyboard shortcuts. Cmd+Z and Cmd+Shift+Z undo and redo outside a text field, Cmd+D duplicates the block you are working in, and Cmd+S saves straight away — saving is otherwise automatic a moment after you stop typing. Use Ctrl in place of Cmd on Windows.

A typical lesson might open with a Heading, continue with Paragraphs and an Image or Video, and finish with a Multiple Choice question. See the Block types reference for every block.

Click Preview in the top toolbar to open the course as a learner sees it, with lesson navigation and working quiz blocks. Previewing does not publish anything. To check the package your LMS will get, use Export → Test in a SCORM player.

Click Publish in the top toolbar and confirm. The course goes live: anyone with its public link can take it, and learners in your organization can find it in the catalog and enroll. Click Published again to see the link or to unpublish. See Publishing and sharing.

To enroll people, open More → Enrollments, click Enroll learners and enter (or upload as CSV) the email addresses of people who are already members of your org. Enrolled learners see the course on their My Learning page. To enroll someone new, invite them to the org first from Settings → Team (the Viewer role is for learners). You can also set a due date for an enrollment.
