You must first create an account before you can publish courses. This account will include information about you so that the course participant knows who you are.
Your account information is displayed on your courses, including:
Registration is a critical step in the process of becoming a Coursekit course publisher. Please use your name as your username to improve searchability. If that is taken, increase the number of digits. This way, instead of some geeky username, people will know your real name.
Please contact Coursekit for a custom username if you are a business (if taken). To receive a custom username, your company must be registered.
Your account must be verified during registration, which is accomplished by sending an e-mail to the account you are about to create.
You will receive a link in this email. After clicking the link, you will be a Coursekit course publisher.
However, each course is drafted until it contains substantial content. This documentation will teach you more about courses.
You can immediately login to your account after verifying it. You can begin adding courses right away. You can, however, choose to edit your profile first.
- Editing your biography benefits trust by providing more information about yourself, making you more trustworthy.
Logging into your account is blocked for ten minutes after three failed login attempts to prevent bots from logging in (paired with reCaptcha).
Password resets can only be performed with verification to ensure the security of your account. Your account will receive an email. You will be able to reset your password if you enter the code in the field.
You can disregard the e-mail if you did not choose to reset your password.
Any course can be added. This course will contain general information, which is added when you create a new course; the data will be added later (subcategory, learnlist, requirements, chapters and lessons). Setting up your course is simple and takes no more than five minutes.
It is necessary to edit or add data to your course. You cannot publish your course without chapters or lessons. Your course must be jam-packed with valuable content.
A course's general information can be changed at any time. So, if you believe your course title is inappropriate, you can change it. Before making any changes to the general information of your course, make sure to follow the community guidelines. The following information can be edited after adding your course:
Before publishing, the subcategory must be set. There is always a 'Other' subcategory if you don't know which one it belongs to. If you truly believe that another subcategory for the category you are currently using should exist, please submit a ticket.
A learnlist is a collection of points. These points must be beneficial to the coursetaker: what will the coursetaker learn? This is extremely important. You can not publish the course unless you have points. For example:
Requirements are also important: your course must have at least one requirement for publication. What are the prerequisites for the course you're teaching? As an example:
A course focusing on bodybuilding, prerequisites:
A chapter is a section that focuses on a single topic.
A chapter is designated as Chapter [number]: [chapter name].
The chapter number is added automatically.
As an example:
Your course's lessons are the most important of the entire course. Before publishing, your course must have 5 or more lessons. A lesson includes general information, a type, a duration, a video, a quiz, or a downloadable/external source.
The following are the general details of the lesson:
How long will it take the course participant to finish the lesson properly? At any time, the duration can be changed. Make the time as precise as possible.
There are in total four types of lesson you can choose from.
A video is an excellent way to explain a specific topic. However, embedding such a video may necessitate a few steps first. Otherwise, the video will not display in the browser.
For embedding videos, a video sharing service, such as Vimeo or Youtube, uses embed links. For such sites, you must use embed links. If you do not use embed links, it will not render properly. Videos from the File manager only require a link that you can copy with .
You can create a tidy quiz that includes multiple-choice answers (A, B, C, and D) or more specific open-ended answers. Additionally, you have the option to include multiple correct answers with the use of checkboxes. The more correct answers a question has, the higher the score will be.
For questions with multiple correct answers, you can include two answers (A and B), three answers (A, B, and C), or four answers (A, B, C, and D). However, if your answer is too complex or difficult to guess, you can use the open answer type. With open-ended questions, only one possible answer can be provided, and the user can type in their response into a text field.
If the user provides a correct answer to a multiple-choice question, the input field will have a green border. If the answer is incorrect, the input field will display a red border with the correct answer. However, if you choose to use the open answer type, the coursetaker will not see a red border when the answer is incorrect. Instead, an explanation (including the solution) will be displayed, and the user can select if they find the answer correct. If the answer is deemed correct, a green border will appear around the input field, along with the explanation. It is important to note that the correct answer will not be displayed automatically in the explanation field, and you will need to enter it manually.
A text lesson can only contain text; take advantage of this opportunity to explain something without the use of a video source. You can also inform the course participant about the upcoming quiz and what to expect. You can also begin your introduction with text rather than a video. Code blocks in a text lesson will be automatically styled with prism.js. Tables, images, external videos (to be surrounded by text), HTML5 code, different font sizes, fonts, and formats such as a blockquote can also be added. While adding this content, please follow the community guidelines.
Use a source that teaches the course participant about the topic of the lesson, such as a test. The course participant can then print the test, take it, and review the answers (if available with the course). An external source, as well as a downloadable source, can be easily added with a URL (from the File manager or from the internet). A link to an external source will launch the browser in a new window, displaying the source. If you click the download button, a downloadable source will be downloaded automatically.
If you change the lesson type, the lesson content will always be different. The lesson content must adhere to community guidelines. The content of the lesson has already been discussed (lesson type).
