What is the difference between a lesson and a course?
A lesson is a single learning experience, often also referred to as a lesson or module. A course contains multiple lessons as well as resources and videos which can be published to your Learning Academy.
Creating a lesson
Before you create a course you will need to first create a lesson. A lesson is a single learning experience, often also referred to as a lesson or module. It consists of a storyboard and a sequence of blocks (also called pages) and may include an assessment at the end.
To create a new lesson, select ‘New Lesson’ from your dashboard or learn more about creating lessons here.
Saving a lesson
When you have finished creating your lesson, it needs to be saved as a lesson in order to be included as learning materials in a course.
- Open your lesson
- Select “Save as a lesson” from the top navigation bar
Learn more here about the five different statuses to help you effectively manage your learning content.
❗️ Tip: If you don’t see this save as a lesson option, you may need to update your theme or upgrade your plan. Contact us to learn more.
