Edit a course

The main author of the course, other authors from their group, co-authors, and platform administrators can edit courses, even after they have been shared or added to a path or program. This allows them to update or correct it.

You can access active courses by clicking Courses at the top of the homepage.

Editing the same course in multiple browsers or tabs can lead to lost changes.

Edit the general settings of a course

1. At the top of the homepage, click Courses.
2. On the right of the course row, click Edit.

In Course Setup, you can change the following elements:

• Cover picture
• Title
• Summary of presentation
• Presentation type:
  • Slideshow: Activities are presented sequentially. Learners can play every activity in the course individually, before moving to the next activity.
  • Single Page: Activities are presented as a group in a single scrolling view.
    • With Question gating enabled by default, learners can view every activity in the course until they reach a question. Learners must then answer the question to view the following comments and activities.
    • With Question gating disabled, learners can play every activity in any order.
• Main author
• Co-authors
• Translators (if applicable)
