Each course, and the lessons inside of it, needs these images and text. Some other items are optional, like videos, downloadable files, and links.
Where content is located
Before users open a course, they might see it featured in a module. It displays the course’s image, name and abstract. Most modules use the smaller list image. Featured rotators use the larger banner image.
Then users enter the course page. It displays the image and description.
Once you’ve started the course, it displays the list of lessons. Think of the course as the “container” for lessons inside of it.
Then users go through the lessons in order. Each lesson page can look different! You might include a description, questions, or downloadable resources. An image can display at the top of the page. Or, if there’s a video, it replaces the image.
Finally, users download a certificate for the completed course.
