Create an Online Course

Creating course content

The first component of creating an online course is to set up the course definition.

You can do this by navigating to Setup > Bookings > Online Courses, and then click the Add Course button. 

Course field definitions

Name: Official name of the course.

Url Slug: The URL slug is the address your clients use when they start their course. It will look like: https://mydomain.com/Learning/UrlSlug

Retail Price: This is the default retail price used for pricing the course and displayed against a regular service and/or product. The Retail Price can be overridden by the associated product retail price.

Enrolment Form: This is an Intake Form given to the client during the checkout process for the course, or when they start the course.  It allows you to collect custom data on the enrolment.

Pre-Enrolment Course: In some cases, you may wish for the client to complete a pre-enrolment course before they start the actual course.  An example would be a Language, Literacy & Numeracy course.  This is bundled into this course at no cost, and must be successfully completed before the actual course can be started.

^ Post Assessment: This is an assessment checklist for the assessor to fill out after the course has been completed. ^ Please note that adding a checklist is only available on the Nail & Scale plan.

Pass Certificate: A Completion Certificate can be downloaded or emailed on successful completion of the course. The course must be marked as passed for the client to be able to download the completion certificate.

Course Navigation: Select how the client can navigate this course:

• Lessons must be completed sequentially

• Lessons can be completed in any order

Require Photo: Requiring a photo for the course, means that the course cannot be undertaken without a web-camera.  An initial profile picture is taken of the client when they start the course and their attendance is tracked by taking a photo of them during each lesson. This is especially useful when you need to evidence that the client was the actual person who undertook the course. Please see the Enabling the camera for online courses article for more details.

Require Proof of Identity: Turning this on will require the client to upload their Identity Documents (e.g. Driver's Licence, Passport etc) that must also be verified by a course assessor before the course can be completed.  The Identity Document types can be customized as needed.

Time Requirements: This allows you to delay specific lessons from being started until a specified amount of course time has been logged. 

Required User Activity: Require user activity to remain logged in the course.

Media Navigation: Require user to watch the entire video or audio lesson before being able to control media navigation.

Post Content Availability: Course content remains available after the course has been completed.

Require Signoff: Selecting this option requires an assessor's final sign off that the course is completed. Leaving this option off, will automatically complete the course once the client has finished.

Send Pass / Fail: Send Pass or Fail correspondence to the client upon final completion of the course.

Active: Turning this on makes the course active and allows new clients to be enrolled.

Marketing field definitions

Marketing sequences and membership groups can also be allocated upon certain triggers for an online course (e.g booking, pass/fail) on the Marketing tab. Please see the Marketing sequences, and Creating membership groups articles for more details.

Editing course content

Once your course definition has been saved, you can click on Modules which is where you can edit the course content.
