Create Your Course

Creating Your First Course

The look and feel of your course play a vital role in catching the attention of potential learners. With the right visuals and tags, your course can stand out in a sea of options. Here's how to make sure it looks just right.

![](https://docs.work.courses/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FeVjA84W05iO8MYXVWCpH%2Fblobs%2FRUMlodWpQAGiIy8dKBwt%2FScreenshot%25202023-08-27%2520at%252011.26.15.png&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=93320eb973d302622e67a9e45e0bece663be1d18add3b3b3f772a68327d81939)

**1.) Course Cover:** Every great course deserves an equally captivating cover.
 - Click on the Course box to select and upload your file.
 - For the best outcome, keep your image dimensions within 800px (width) x 400px (height). Our specialized image resizer component will then swoop in and tweak it for a seamless fit on the platform.

**2.) Crafting the Right Tags:** 
 - Tags act as a magnet, pulling in interested learners by making your course discoverable.
 - Simply click on the tag field and type in a keyword that best describes your course. Once done, hit the 'Enter' key.

These tags will then appear as a preview on the course page, giving potential students an idea about the course topics at a glance.

Pricing Your Course

In the Extra Details tab, we're diving a bit deeper. This is where you provide those key bits of information that set the tone and expectation for your course.

![](![](https://docs.work.courses/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FeVjA84W05iO8MYXVWCpH%2Fblobs%2FlwBj3kHkASNOnG2bYF3U%2FScreenshot%25202023-09-13%2520at%252011.16.49.png&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=c93d7d15b75dc1fbcd9e94e4cca61d0aac85e1ec48c77194a2bbcf7b42094565))

**1.) Short & Sweet Description:**
This is your elevator pitch, a brief overview that will be scattered across the site to give potential learners a quick glimpse of what your course offers. Aim for conciseness while ensuring it's enticing enough to make users want to learn more.

![](https://docs.work.courses/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FeVjA84W05iO8MYXVWCpH%2Fblobs%2Fy30l7uDHrC9dErEIs0Ck%2FScreenshot%25202023-09-01%2520at%252017.32.29.png&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=b6480574fd604889cd9d70a36d51b00a88440ae5b2c5792573be0d9ef2ae98ce)

**2.) Setting the Right Difficulty:**
Your course isn't just about content, it's about the audience. Determine who you're targeting:
- **Beginner:** For those new to the topic, requiring no prior knowledge.
- **Intermediate:** For those with some knowledge and looking to advance.
- **Advanced or Expert:** For those with significant prior understanding, seeking in-depth exploration.

![](https://docs.work.courses/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FeVjA84W05iO8MYXVWCpH%2Fblobs%2FlpVATCzhWZgTguDSw5xz%2FScreenshot%25202023-09-01%2520at%252017.33.36.png&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=f48555d5f4ab01cefc72599f3c93cc3e76cd6377c7028197d85480729269febc)

**Section It Off: **
Every course has its rhythm. By dividing your course into distinct sections, you guide learners through a structured journey:
- Think of sections as chapters in a book. 
- You can easily add these sections by clicking on the '+' icon located on the right, just beneath the difficult level selector.

Once you've filled out these details, your course is starting to come to life! The view should resemble the example provided below. Remember, a well-structured course with clear details is more engaging and user-friendly, so take your time to get it right.

Adding The Final Details

Adding Course Details

Now that your course is structured, it's time to fill in the meat of your content - the lessons. Here's a simple guide on how to make that happen:

**1.) Starting Your Lesson:**
- As you move from the Extra Details tab, you'll land on the page for your first section.
- A clean slate awaits! To dive in, click on the "+ Add Lesson" button located in the upper right corner.

![](https://docs.work.courses/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FeVjA84W05iO8MYXVWCpH%2Fblobs%2FQKkTczlAcHU58bKGjpox%2FScreenshot%25202023-09-01%2520at%252011.19.24.png&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=127a7b351038840b7bd4175efc7e939a6b1def9d2222a90beb0ecba07af24918)


**2.) Choosing Your Lesson Format:**
Each lesson can take one of three forms:
**- Image: **Ideal for visual content or infographics.
**- Video:** Perfect for in-depth explanations or demonstrations.
**- Quiz:** A great way to assess understanding or reinforce key points.

![](https://docs.work.courses/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FeVjA84W05iO8MYXVWCpH%2Fblobs%2FGwtHA2jSZMjIzrtMcNrG%2FScreenshot%25202023-09-01%2520at%252011.23.34.png&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=87fdcea633e37e985cc90373d06bbfa258bdc0c8e89076eee4a1bd2aa8fc8e66)

**3.) Adding Your Lesson Content:**
- For this example, our course primarily consists of videos. After selecting the video option, you'll need to give it a description. It's like setting the scene for your learners, giving them a hint of what's to come.
- Don't forget to click 'Save'! No one likes repeating work.

![](https://docs.work.courses/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FeVjA84W05iO8MYXVWCpH%2Fblobs%2Ftoy8ymsaMZfSA6ejfj4s%2FScreenshot%25202023-09-01%2520at%252013.08.18.png&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=3cc4a80b3199c516b85b9329303abf6a1b4e449085492e2792ad9e765d4c33a2)

**4.) Building Out Your Section:**
With your first lesson set, continue the process to add all the lessons that make up a section. A comprehensive, well-rounded section provides a cohesive learning experience.

Below is a snapshot of the full Orientation section, filled with lessons, to give you an idea of what it looks like when it all comes together.
