How to Add a CoursePlan

A CoursePlan defines the structure of your course — think of it as the syllabus, table of contents, or learning roadmap. It's a set of modules that organize your content into logical sections.

Adding Content to Modules

Inside each module, you can add various types of content. Click Add Content inside a module and select the type:

Module Settings

Each module has additional settings:

Scheduled Content Release

You can schedule modules to become visible at specific dates:

1. Click the module settings icon
2. Enable Scheduled Release
3. Set the release date and time
4. The module will automatically become visible at that time

This is useful for drip-feeding content week by week.

Best Practices for CoursePlan Design

1. Start with an outline — Plan your entire module structure before adding content
2. Keep modules focused — Each module should cover one topic or one week's worth of material
3. Consistent naming — Use a consistent format like "Week 1: Topic" or "Unit 1: Topic"
4. Mix content types — Each module should ideally have a video, notes, and an assessment
5. Logical progression — Arrange modules from foundational to advanced topics
6. Include descriptions — Module descriptions help students understand what they'll learn
