Creating Content

Plan before you build​

Before opening the course builder, it helps to outline your content:

Course: Advanced Excel for Finance
├── Module 1: Foundations
│   ├── Lesson 1.1 — Why Excel matters in finance (video, 8 min)
│   ├── Lesson 1.2 — Setting up your workspace (text)
│   └── Lesson 1.3 — Knowledge check (quiz)
├── Module 2: Formulas & Functions
│   ├── Lesson 2.1 — VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP (video, 12 min)
│   └── ...

Having this outline ready makes the build process much faster.

Create the course​

  1. From your dashboard, click New Course
  2. Fill in the title, description, and upload a thumbnail
  3. Set the level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced) and estimated duration
  4. Click Save — you're in Draft mode

Build your modules​

  1. Inside the course, click Add Module
  2. Name it (e.g. "Module 1: Foundations")
  3. Repeat for each module in your outline

You can drag modules to reorder them at any time.

Add lessons​

Inside each module:

  1. Click Add Lesson
  2. Choose Video, Text, or Quiz

Video lessons — tips for best results​

  • Record at 1080p if possible; the video provider transcodes lower resolutions automatically
  • Keep individual lessons under 20 minutes — shorter videos have better completion rates
  • Export as MP4 (H.264) for fastest upload and processing
  • Add a descriptive title so students can easily re-find lessons

Text lessons — tips​

  • Use headings to break up long content
  • Embed images to illustrate concepts
  • Link to external resources where relevant
  • Keep it scannable — students skim before they read

Attach resources​

Add downloadable files (slides, worksheets, templates) to any lesson:

  1. Edit the lesson → scroll to Resources
  2. Click Add Resource → upload a file or paste a URL
  3. Give it a clear name (e.g. "Excel Template — Module 2")

Publish your course​

When all your content is ready:

  1. Open the course
  2. Review the Publish Checklist — it verifies you have a title, description, at least one lesson, and a duration set
  3. Click Publish

Your course is now live for enrolled students.
