Summary

  • Give students an all-in-one view of your course

  • Prioritize course material that’s most important for students to access

  • Students will get access to the syllabus on your student portal open date.

Home overview

Home is where students go to find everything related to your course. It offers an at-a-glance view of course workshops and resources.

Your Home section is populated by information you input in the Events and Syllabus section of your course and is automatically organized by week to help guide students through your course.

Go to your Events tab to create a schedule of live workshops. Add resources, videos, and projects in your Syllabus.

Adding and editing course material

Your course is organized by modules. A module represents a collection of materials. You might organize modules by week, topic, or learning objectives.

  1. Add as many modules as you like.

  2. Give each module a title, description, and start date.

    1. All modules will be accessible throughout the course by default but you can choose to gate access on a timeline in the “Show Content” dropdown.

  3. Add resources, recordings, and projects to each module. (Optional) Add due dates to highlight specific items in the weekly schedule.

    1. Resources are links to articles and videos you want to share with students.

    2. Videos can be pre-made recordings, YouTube links, or any other video material you want students to watch. If you’ve set up auto-recordings, the recording will become available under the Event item on the schedule.

    3. Projects are assignments you create for students. When students submit an assignment, have them post directly to #share-your-work in the Community so that other students can react and provide feedback.

If you want to create a module that isn't a part of the weekly schedule, you can turn OFF the start date and it'll appear on the bottom of each week’s page in a “Bonus materials” section.

What do students see?

Once enrolled, students will be able to access Home on the student portal open date. When students log into your course Home page, they'll see a weekly overview of your course.

Below the weekly schedule, students will see all of the modules happening that week. Students can click to expand the module and see all the items within it.

You might want to let students know of a new resource you added or direct students to a session recording - if so, you can share a direct link to each module. Just copy the link from within the syllabus using the link icon. Here's a screenshot for reference:

FAQs

  1. Can I copy my syllabus and cohort events from one cohort to another?

    1. Yes, you can! Check out more about creating new cohorts here.

  2. Do I have to share resources with students?

    1. No, sharing resources it totally optional. We do recommend considering how resources such as supplemental videos and readings may add value to your course.

  3. Do students get a notification when items are "overdue" in the weekly schedule?

    1. No, there's no notification sent to students. The "due dates" you assign to modules are more to help keep pace and organize your course materials throughout your cohort.
