3.1 Using the Course Builder

Let’s begin creating your course! Access your Instructor Dashboard in your main menu and click on “+ Create a New Course” from the Menu.

3.2 Add Course Title, Featured Image and Course Description

Add the introductory details to your Course. This will appear on your Course Front Page.

3.3 Thoughts on Your Course Description

You may use the formatting toolbar to help your Course Description pop out. Change font size, make Headings bold, and use bullet points for readability.

It’s important for prospective learners to know the Course Objectives, a small bio about the Course Instructor (you!), and what they will gain from taking your course. And you can add in any other details you feel necessary.

3.4 Add Course Tags and Categories

Course Tags are descriptors to your Course. For example, “Beginner-Friendly”, “Professional Development” or “On Sale”. Course Categories help to filter the courses around their respective disciplines. Feel free to add new tags and/or categories as is relevant to your course.

3.5 Organize Structure With Lessons, Topics and Section Headings

Click on the Builder Tab to start building your course. Add Section Headings to organize your Course.

Section Headings act as dividers between different parts of your course content.
Lessons allow you to add content within each lesson. Add media, text and/or files!

Alternatively, if you’ve already created lessons before for another course, you can add and drop pre-existing lessons from your Course Content Library on the right! Creating additional courses has never been easier!

3.6 Use Wellbee AI to help you draft Lesson content.

Here’s an example of Wellbee AI helping me with an outline for an Intro to Homeopathy Course.

3.7 Import Media To Make Your Lessons Engaging

Click on the Media Icon to add media directly to your lessons.

3.8 Add Additional Topics or Quizzes Under A Lesson

Click on the arrow to expand the Lesson options. Choose between Adding a New Topic, or Adding a New Quiz.

For quizzes, you can select a variety of Quiz types: Multiple choice, open-ended essays, sorting, fill in the blanks, and more.

3.9 Adding a New Quiz - Quiz Builder

You can either select a Quiz that’s already been created from your Course Content Builder or Create a New Quiz. If you click on Add New Quiz then it opens the Quiz Builder on a new tab.

It’s import to Save Your Course Draft at this point before creating a new quiz and opening the Quiz Builder.

Follow the same procedure as in the Course Builder. Give your Quiz a Title, Featured Image and Quiz Description. Once you select the Builder Tab you can add Questions to your Quiz.

Use the Answer Tab to add answers to your quiz for automatic grading. You can assign points, or give a hint to your questions.

The slideshow below (viewable only on tablet or desktop devices) shows steps to create your new quiz!

Please note: At this time, the Essay/Open Answer type of quiz is still under development and not available for use as of yet.

4. Course Settings

Back in the Course Builder, you can select your course access settings. You can select whether the course is Free or Closed.

Closed courses require you to add a Price and a Course URL. When you’re publishing the course, leave this empty. We will return here after we have linked a product to the course for sale.

You can also add in any course prerequisites, course points, and/or course access expiration dates. If you plan on collaborating with other instructors on a course, select the instructor from the Share Course Settings.

5. Important Step: Link Course to 'Product'

When you’re ready to go live with your course- Hit that ‘Publish’ Button. If you’d like to charge for your course, be sure to ‘Add a Product’ and link that Product to your course! Free courses can go live right away and you can stop right here. But if you want to charge, you must add the course as a ‘Product’. Go to your Instructor Dashboard once again, and click on Products on your left menu.

Click on + New Product.

On the next step: Link your course to the product. In the drop down menu select your course. This allows Learners who purchase your Course to get access to your Course.

Finish off creating the Product with your Course Description (copy/paste from your Course Description Page) and Publish.

6. Last Step

Once you click Publish on creating your product, click on that link, and copy the URL. This is a crucial step that allows users to enrol in your course once they purchase it!

Now go to your Course Settings, and paste your product URL under the course price.

Your Course is now successfully published and you have linked it as a ‘Product’ to purchase! Excellent work!
