Curriculum

Once you've created a course, Curriculum is where you build it: modules that hold lessons, in the order participants work through them.

A course's sidebar has six sections, each its own page: Curriculum, Pricing, Publish, Enrollments, Progress, and Settings. Curriculum is where every course starts.

Modules and lessons

A course is made of modules, and each module holds one or more lessons. Add a module by naming it at the bottom of the list, then add lessons inside it the same way.

A lesson has a type: a text lesson, a link, an embed, a file, or a live session. Text lessons are created empty; you write the body afterward in the lesson editor. The other four types collect their one piece of content (a URL, a file, or the event a live session points at) at the moment you add the lesson, since there's no meaningful empty version of a link or a live session.

Mark a lesson Required or optional with its switch. Required lessons are the default.

Reordering, renaming, and deleting

Use the up and down arrows on a module or lesson row to move it. There's no drag-and-drop: reordering is button-driven, one step at a time.

Rename a module with the pencil icon on its header. Lessons are renamed from inside their own editor, not from the Curriculum list.

Writing a lesson

Curriculum only handles structure. Clicking a lesson opens its own editor page, with the rich-text block canvas where you write and format the lesson body. Its sibling lessons stay listed alongside it, so you can jump between lessons in the same module without going back to Curriculum first.

The setup checklist

A rail alongside the module list tracks how ready the course is to publish. Each row links straight to the place that fixes it:

  • Course summary or description
  • Cover image
  • At least one module
  • At least one lesson
  • Every text lesson has a body, not a blank editor
  • Price set, for a paid course
  • Published

The rail also shows a count of every lesson type in the course (text, link, embed, file, live session) and the total number of structural blocks across your text lessons, so you have a sense of the course's shape at a glance.

What's next

With content in place, move on to Pricing to decide whether the course is free or paid, then Publishing to put it in front of participants.
