Introduction

The course editor is where you build and customize courses. Open it by clicking the pen icon on any course card in your library.

The editor is split into three parts, switched from the top menu bar:

• Storyboard — where you edit content WYSIWYG-style.
• Course content — for everything that applies to the course as a whole: languages, table of contents, achievements, variables, handouts, style sets, and the translation tool.
• Preview — where you run the course as a learner would, to test before publishing.

The Storyboard is what you land on. Your course is laid out there as a sequence of modules, with the start screen as the first one (opened when you arrive). Each module has a type: custom modules contain slides, quiz modules contain questions. Opening a module shows its outline of slides or questions on the left.

Where to go next

• Basic terms — vocabulary used throughout the editor.
• Storyboard overview — the layout of the Storyboard view.

• Achievements — tracking learner progress with variables and conditions.
• Variables — course state that drives conditions and component actions.
• Languages — managing which languages your course is published in.
• Translation tool — translating an existing course end-to-end.
