Course outline gives you a structured overview of your course, helping you organize content in a clear, logical way. It lists all course elements—sections, pages, and questions—in the order learners will experience them.
This outline ensures your content flows smoothly and aligns with your learning objectives.
What makes up a course outline?
Your course is made up of three main building blocks: sections, pages, and questions. Each plays a key role in guiding your learners through the content.
Sections – Introduce a topic or concept
Sections help you group related content together. Each section centers around a specific theme, topic, or concept. Think of it as a chapter in your course. You can add multiple pages and questions within a section to explore the topic in depth.
Pages – Single learning unit to explain topics
Pages are where you present your actual learning content. Use them to explain concepts, share videos, add images, files, and more. Each page focuses on a specific point within the larger topic.
Questions – Check understanding
Questions help reinforce learning by assessing how well your learners grasp the content. Add them after pages or at the end of a section to check understanding and give feedback.
