➕Create a course

Time to create your first training path 🙈

Creating a course

To create a course, open the Courses section, and click on the New button in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

A side panel opens, allowing you to configure your course:

Create a course

1. Select a module - Optional. If you don't want the course to belong to any module, you can select Show in all courses only.

2. Name your course - Mandatory

3. Give your course a description - Optional

4. Provide a cover image (in PNG, JPG or GIF format, less than 5 MB in size). The recommended pixel size is displayed - Optional

5. Define privacy, i.e. the Spot members able to view your Course elements.

   • Select Public if you want all your Spot members and visitors to be able to see your Course.

   • Select Secret if you wish to choose which Spot members will have access to this content.

6. Define navigation, i.e. the order in which members will take the course.

   • Select Flexible navigation if you want the course to be taken in a random order.

   • Select Sequential progression if you want the course to be taken in a fixed order defined by the order of the steps.

7. Click on Create as draft: that's it, your course is created!

If your course is public, visitors (non-members or members not logged in) with access to your course page will be able to see the course card and the introductory step. They will need to create an account or log in to access the rest of the steps.

Good to know

Your course has been created, but you still need to configure all the steps! Don't worry, once created, the course is in 'draft' mode and is not yet visible to any member or visitor.

By default, a newly created course contains 4 (empty) steps:

• Introduction step

• 2 intermediate steps

• Conclusion step

Duplicate a course

If you wish to reuse elements of an existing course, you can duplicate it. A duplicated course takes the following elements from the original course:

• General settings (description, cover image, privacy and navigation settings). Please note that the course title is duplicated, but the word “(copy)” is added at the end. Don't forget to change this before publishing your course!

• Steps (their name, duration and content)

• The content of email notifications (if the switch had been activated in the modal)

• Only participant lists and groups are never duplicated.

To duplicate a course, from the course list:

• Click on the 3 dots at the top right of the original course map to open the menu.

• Click on Duplicate

A confirmation dialog box opens. A switch allows you to choose whether, in addition to course settings and steps, you also wish to duplicate the content of email notifications. Once you've made your choice, click on Create as draft.

That's it, you're on your new course! It's still in draft mode, so it's up to you to modify it if necessary and publish it for your members to enjoy!

If your course is secret, don't forget to invite the members concerned, as the list of participants and groups has not been duplicated!
