Like any system, Learnster uses some common concepts and terminology. Getting familiar with these will make it much easier to understand how everything works. Take a moment to explore them!💡

The Course Outline is where you structure all your course content including blocks, headers, and pages.

A Block is where you add Headers and Pages. There are three types of blocks:

You can have multiple Blocks within one course and mix your content between Scheduled Activities (classroom) and Unscheduled Activities (online).

Headings are groups of Pages within a Block, designed to help you organize content and create a clear structure. Headings are optional.

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 are course materials e.g. videos, documents, links, interactions, quizzes, etc., published in a Page.

Use a Parent course when you want to manage multiple similar courses that share the same core content and settings but have unique variations, such as timelines, locations, or deadlines.

For example:

By creating a Parent course, you can centralize and standardize the core course details while allowing flexibility in managing individual Child courses for specific needs.

Tags are used to group users (often Learners) and courses. It’s an effective way to assign courses.

Learn more about tags here.

In the Library you can store and reuse your content.

Courses are presented as course cards in the Learnster U main view. When you click on a course card the course page opens and you will find course information, course activities and course evaluation.
