Additional Settings Tab

The “Additional” section in the Course Builder allows you to provide valuable supplementary information and resources for your course. This section offers a variety of fields to enrich your course presentation and provide essential details to potential learners.

Here are the types of information you can add in this section:

Overview

What Will I Learn?

Clearly define the key benefits and learning outcomes students can expect to gain from your course in the “What Will I Learn?” field. Using bullet points or a similar format can improve readability and clarity.

Targeted Audience

Specify the intended audience for your course in the “Targeted Audience” field. This helps potential students determine if the course aligns with their needs and goals.

Total Course Duration

Provide an estimated duration for your course in the “Total Course Duration” field. This gives students an idea of the time commitment required to complete the course. The duration is specified in hours and minutes.

Materials Included

List any materials or resources that students will receive as part of the course in the “Materials Included” field. This could include downloadable resources, templates, access to communities, or any other supplementary materials.

Requirements/Instructions

Use the “Requirements/Instructions” field to specify any prerequisites or special instructions for the course. This might include software requirements, recommended reading, or any other information that students need to know before enrolling.

Course Prerequisites

The “Course Prerequisites” section allows you to specify any prerequisite courses that students must complete before they can enroll in the current course. This ensures that students have the necessary foundational knowledge and skills before moving on to more advanced topics.

To add a prerequisite course:

1. Start typing the name of the prerequisite course in the search bar. A list of matching courses will appear.
2. Select the desired course from the list. The selected course will appear in the “Course Prerequisites” section.

You can add multiple prerequisite courses as needed. Students will need to complete all specified prerequisite courses before they can enroll in the current course.
