Organize your course

At a glance

The course page is your Table of Contents: modules and lessons learners navigate. Instructors add structure, reorder items, and see how many pages are visible vs hidden.

Prerequisites

• A course you can manage (instructor or assistant with content permissions).

Steps

1. Open the course from the dashboard.

2. Expand Course Information if you need description, instructor, or institution details.

3. In Table of Contents:

   • Click Add Content → Add Module or Add Lesson.
   • For a lesson inside a module, use Add lesson on that module row when available.

4. Click a lesson title to open it; use Edit on the lesson header when you’re in instructor view.

5. To reorder, click the reorder control (arrow icon), drag items, then Exit Reorder.

6. Review the summary row Visible to All Learners vs Hidden from All Learners (counts update as you publish via Access Policy).

Common gotchas

• Hidden lessons still appear to instructors; learners only see items that are Visible under Access Policy.
• Add Lesson without a module creates a top-level lesson in the outline.
