CoursesComing soon

The Courses module organizes learning in three levels:

Members enroll in the course, take the lessons in order, and progress on each lesson is recorded.

Coming soon The app's courses screen still shows sample content, not your community's courses. Creating, editing and following courses on screen arrives when that module is finished. Until then, the structure is created through the API, as this article shows.

#What it's for

#How it works

#The course

#Modules and lessons

Each course has modules, in order, and each module has lessons, in order. A lesson has a type: text, image, video or link, along with its duration.

#Enrollment and progress

Members enroll in a published course (a draft returns "This course is not available for enrollment yet.") and mark their progress on each lesson. Enrolling and completing lessons earns points in the ranking: 10 points for enrolling, 25 per completed lesson.

#Who can

#Step by step (today, through the API)

Role: owner or admin.

1. Create the space: Add Space › Courses, with the visibility of whoever may take the course.
2. Create the course: POST /api/courses with communityId, spaceId, title, slug and level. Keep the id.
3. Create each module: POST /api/courses/module with courseId and title.
4. Create each lesson: POST /api/courses/lesson with moduleId, title and type.
5. Publish: PUT /api/courses/{id} with status: "published".

The full sequence, with the ids passed from one step to the next and the errors you get when you skip a step, is in Creation order.

#Selling the course

#Current limits

• There's no completion certificate.
• There's no exam with a passing grade.
• There's no scheduled release (drip): access is by space, not by each person's start date.

#Frequently asked questions

Where are the videos stored? A video lesson points to the video; there's also video upload through the API (POST /api/upload/content/video).

Can I have several courses in one space? Yes. A Courses space is a showcase of courses.

Do members see the course in the Feed? Yes, like other items, if they have access to the space.

#In the API

POST /api/courses, POST /api/courses/module, POST /api/courses/lesson, PUT /api/courses/{id}, PUT and DELETE /api/courses/module/{moduleId} (rename, reorder, delete a module with its lessons), PUT and DELETE /api/courses/lesson/{lessonId} (edit, reorder, move to another module, delete a lesson), POST /api/courses/{courseId}/enroll, POST /api/courses/{courseId}/lesson/{lessonId}/progress.
