How to Customize a Course

From your My Courses page, locate the course you want to customize and click the dropdown arrow next to the View button.

From the menu that appears, choose Customize Course.

You can also access the customization page while viewing a course by selecting Customize This Course from the course management menu.

You will be taken to the Course Customization page, where you can modify course content and settings.

From this page, you can:

• Rename the course

• Add lessons

• Remove lessons

• Reorder lessons

• Browse content from other courses

If your course contains many lessons, you can collapse the Added Lessons section by clicking anywhere on the accordion panel. This can make it easier to browse additional content.

At the top of the page, update the course title to something that helps you identify the course and its purpose.

There are two ways to browse content:

Course View

Displays courses that contain groups of lessons.

Lesson View

Displays individual lessons.

Use the radio buttons at the top of the page to switch between views at any time.

In Course View, expand a course to see all lessons included in that course.

This allows you to review available content and select only the lessons you want to include in your customized course.

To learn more about a lesson before adding it, click the Preview link next to the lesson.

The lesson preview window provides information including:

• Lesson description

• Media type

• Lesson duration

• Learning goals

• Lesson content overview

• Lesson plans

Use the Search box to find specific content.

Search results are based on:

• Course titles when using Course View

• Lesson titles when using Lesson View

Switch to Lesson View when searching for a specific lesson rather than an entire course.

You can also filter content by your licensed subject areas to narrow results and find relevant lessons more quickly.

To add a lesson to your course:

1. Locate the lesson.

2. Click the Add (+) button.

Lessons can be added from either Course View or Lesson View.

Added lessons will appear in the Added Lessons queue at the top of the page.

Lessons that have already been added to the course are highlighted.

This helps prevent duplicate selections, since the same lesson cannot be added more than once.

If you want to add every lesson from a course:

1. Locate the desired course.

2. Click Add All Lessons.

All lessons from that course will automatically be added to your lesson queue.

You can remove a lesson in either of the following ways:

• Click the Remove (-) button from the lesson list.

• Click the Remove (-) button within the Added Lessons queue.

Removing the lesson from either location removes it from your customized course.

To clear your lesson selections completely, click Remove All Lessons above the lesson queue.

If you have previously marked courses as favorites, you can access them through the My Favorites tab.

While individual lessons cannot be favorited from the customization workflow, favorite courses provide a quick way to locate and add lesson content to your custom course.

Before saving, review the Added Lessons queue at the top of the page.

From this area, you can:

• Preview lessons

• Remove lessons

• Confirm lesson selections

• Make final adjustments to your course

When you have finished building your course, save your changes.

After saving, you'll be taken back to your course page with an alert letting you know that your course has successfully updated.
