How the Course Outline works
Before we deep dive into course structuring, let’s recap a few important terms:
Course Outline
The course outline is the “wall” where you structure all your course material including blocks, headers, and pages.
Block
A Block is where you add Headers and Pages. There are three types of blocks:
Scheduled: for course days and dates (scheduled/classroom courses)
Unscheduled: for course activities with or without deadlines (online self-study material)
You can have multiple Blocks within one course and mix your content between Scheduled Activities (classroom) and Unscheduled Activities (online).
Heading
Headings are groups of Pages within a Block, designed to help you organize content and create a clear structure. Headings are optional.
Page
Pages are where you add the course content. You simply drag-and-drop activity types to the page, for example videos, text, images, links, interactions, etc or a mixture of different activity types.
Content
Content are course materials such as videos, documents, links, interactions and quizzes that are published in a page.
