Adding Learning to your Navigation

Starting from the Admin page, navigate to the left-hand sidebar and select the Navigation tab under the Layout section.
You can decide where you’d like the Learning page to appear — either in the header navigation or as a quick link in the sidebar.
To add Learning to the header navigation, begin by clicking the Add Link button.
1. Enter the link text. In the above video, we have named this "Learning".
2. Within the Search Destinations dropdown, type 'Learning' (or the text you used) and select the 'Learning' page you created.
3. Choose an appropriate icon to represent the page. In the above video, we used the graduation cap icon. Select the outlined style to match the rest of the header icons.
4. Under Link Style, you can choose to display the following:
  - Text
  - Icon
  - Icon with Text—In our video example, since our header navigation links include both icons and text, we would select the Icon with Text option.
Click Save.
You can now reorder the header links by dragging and dropping them as needed. When you are happy with the order, click Save again to confirm your changes.
The Learning link will now appear in the header navigation!

Adding Learning to Quick Links in the Sidebar

These steps will allow you to add Learning as a quick link in the sidebar.

Click the Add Link button.
Enter your link text. Following the video above, we used "Learning" as our link text.
Under Search Destinations, type and select the "Learning" page.
Choose an appropriate icon to represent the link.
Click Save.
You can now reorder your quick links by dragging and dropping them. This is optional.
If you reorder, click Save again to confirm your changes.

The Learning page is now accessible via both the header and the sidebar, providing easy access for your users.

Creating a Learning Page

From the homepage, access the Admin settings by clicking on the "gear icon" located in the top right corner.
Once in the admin view, navigate to the left-hand menu and select the Pages tab under the Layout section.
Click the New Page button. Enter the name for your page. In the video above, we used the name "Learning". Click Create.
After the page is created, select the Learning page box to begin editing. In the left-hand navigation bar, click the plus (+) icon at the top to add new components to the page.
Here, you can start by adding a Hero and a Grid.
- The Hero component will serve as a banner at the top of the page.
  1. To arrange the Hero component, drag the Hero component to the top of the list.
  2. Click on the Hero component to customize it. Here, you can update the name. In the video example above, we named it "Learning Banner". You can add a title and a subtitle to introduce the learning page to your users.
  3. You can adjust the alignment and size, though these settings are optional. If the default layout looks good, you can leave it as is. Additionally, you can upload a background image to display behind your text. If desired, you can also add a button by selecting a destination such as a course page or group.
  4. Once you’ve completed the Hero settings, click the X to exit the editor and move on to the Grid component.
- The Grid will display the various courses you offer. Within the Grid tab, you can update the component name, add a title, and configure tabs to help users navigate different sets of content.
  1. To add a new tab, click the plus (+) next to the Tabs - Data Filtering section. A new tab will be created by default. Click on the tab name to open the editor.
  2. In the video example above, we named this first tab “All Courses,” set the Content Type to Course, and left the content unfiltered so that all available courses are displayed. You can also choose how to sort the content—by newest, alphabetically, and in ascending or descending order.
  3. Click Save.
  4. We can now add a second tab, which in the video example above, we titled “My Courses”.
  5. Click the plus (+) icon to create a new tab, click the tab name, and update the label to “My Courses” or your own choice of text. Set the Content Type to Course, and this time, under Filter Content, select User Actions.
  6. Select all relevant options from the User Actions menu: Complete, Enroll, Start, and Waitlist Add. This ensures that any course the user has interacted with will appear in the “My Courses” tab.
  7. Click Save to confirm the changes made.
The tabs are now ready. Note that no results will appear yet because we haven’t created any courses. Once courses are added, they will automatically populate under the appropriate tabs.
Lastly, we can customize the variant of the grid items. This setting determines how the course images are displayed. You can choose from Circular, Rounded, or Square.
- Rounded and Square are both square in shape, but Rounded has softened edges. In the video example above, we have selected Rounded. You can also adjust the text alignment, width, height, and spacing as needed. In the video example above, we chose to leave the default settings.
Click Save in the side navigation bar once you are done making changes. Use the 'back arrow' to return to the main Admin page.
Your Learning page is now set up and ready for content!

Creating a Course and Info Page

Begin in the Admin settings. From the homepage, access the admin settings by clicking on the "gear icon" located in the top right corner.
In the left-hand sidebar, under the Content section, click on the Learning tab.
Click the New Course button. This will open a pop-up where you can enter the title of your course and select a course type. In the video example above, we have chosen the Juno course type, which allows for manual course creation. We recommend using the manual course creation for your first course you create.
- You’ll also have the option to automatically generate an Access Pass for the course. If selected, this access pass will be created with the same name as the course. For more information on the Access Pass, view the Creating an Access Pass section below.
Once the course is created, you’ll be taken to the Course Info Page — this is where you configure the content that appears to learners before they begin the lessons.

Basic Information Section

In the Basic Information section, you can:

Update the course title.
Customize the course slug, which defines the course’s URL.
Add a preview text, which will appear below the course title on the course grid.
Apply relevant tags for discoverability and filtering.

Description and Media

Below the Basic Information section, you’ll find the Description field.

Use this space to provide a clear summary of the course’s purpose and value.

In the Image and Video section:

Upload a course image, which will appear in the course grid.
Add an introductory video (either by uploading an MP4 or embedding a video URL such as a YouTube link).

Instructors, Capacity, and Grading

In this section, you can:

Assign one or more instructors.
Set a learner capacity (enter a number to limit enrollment, or leave it at zero for unlimited access).
Define a passing score, expressed as a percentage. In our video example above, we set it to 80%.

Access Rules

At the bottom of the page, you can configure Access Rules to control how learners enroll in and view the course. Options include:

Requiring enrollment requests.
Restricting access to preview a course.
Restricting visibility using access passes (the one generated during course creation has already been applied).
You also have the option to enable a course feed, which can help gather feedback or allow learners to ask questions that instructors can respond to directly on the course info page.

Course Dates

Lastly, there’s a section for setting course dates. In the video example above, we leave these fields blank to ensure the course does not appear on the platform until enrollment is properly configured.

Saving

Once you’ve updated your course info, make sure to click Save. You can click save at any point to ensure your progress isn’t lost.

Creating a Lesson Plan

Now that we’ve finished setting up our course info page, it’s time to start building our lesson plan.

Click the Lesson Plan tab, next to the Course Info tab.
Click Create a Lesson.
A pop-up will appear where you can enter the lesson title. Once you’ve named your lesson, click Save.
Click the gear icon next to the lesson name to begin editing.

Gear Icon Editor Options

In this editor, you have several options:

You can add preview text and a description. This is optional.
You can also upload a lesson image.

Below these options, you'll see a Graded Lesson option.

If this lesson is graded, set the passing percentage that a learner must achieve to move on. This is optional.
For example, you might set it to 80%. In the video example above, this lesson will only have a video, so it won’t be graded, and we have skipped this option.

Next, you'll see the Timed Lesson option.

Enable this to limit how long a learner must complete the lesson. This is optional.
Keep in mind, this is a countdown timer — it won’t lock the learner on the page, but it will limit how long they have to finish. In the above video example, we don't add a timer since we want the learner to have plenty of time to watch the video.

Next, you can set Retake Rules.

Choose to allow retakes always, or only after a failed attempt.
Depending on your choice, set the number of allowed retakes — from 1 to 9, or unlimited.

Lastly, at the bottom of this section, you will have the option to randomize.

You can also choose to randomize the order of lesson parts. This mixes up the content for each learner.

Once you have completed changing your Gear Icon Editor options, you can begin adding lesson parts.

Creating a Lesson Part

Click Create a Lesson.
Enter the name of the lesson, then click Save.
Click the gear icon to start creating the lesson.
Once in the lesson, add the information needed, adjust the grading, timing, and retake options if desired.
Click Create a Lesson Part.
You’ll see a pop-up asking what type of content you’d like to add. You can choose a Question, a Video, an Informational Blurb, or a Downloadable Resource.
Even though you can create separate lessons, in the video example above, we have labeled all three as Lesson 1 and split them into sections A, B, and C. This helps break up content into smaller chunks, making it easier for learners to focus.
- Section A includes the Video:
  1. We enter a video title, then we can upload an MP4 or paste a video link, like from YouTube.
  2. Then, we choose the percentage of the video the learner must watch before they can move on.
  3. Click Save.
- Section B includes the Resource:
  1. Select Resource.
  2. The resource is given the same title as the lesson. Click Add Resource.
  3. Give this resource a Name and a short description.
  4. Upload an image, adjust the size, then click Save.
  5. Attach the file you want learners to download.
  6. Click Save when you are finished.
    - Since you are asking the learner to download a resource, you will want to make sure that you don’t have this lesson set to graded, timed, or allowing for retakes. Once confirmed, you can click the back button to get to the Lesson plan.
- And Section C is the Quiz.
  - A Multiple-Choice question example from the video example above:
    1. Write the question, add four possible answers, and check the box next to the correct one.
    2. You can also add a score to the question. We leave this question with a score of 1 in the video example above.
    3. When you scroll to the bottom of the screen, you can see a preview of the question and answers. If you'd like to change the order of the possible answers, you can drag and drop to adjust.
    4. Click Save.
  - A True or False question using the multiple-choice format from the video example above:
    1. Add the question. Next, add just two answers: True and False, and mark the correct one. In the video example above, we keep the score at 1.
    2. Preview the question and answers.
    3. Click Save.
  - A Rating Type question from the video example above:
    1. We want to ask learners how they’re enjoying the course. The rating scale starts with a base of 0 and the option to add a maximum of 10 scale points. Our default maximum is set to ten with an increment of 1 scale point.
      - If you want to change the maximum number to 50, you would first need to adjust the increment to 5, which would allow for 10 additional scale points across the rating line.
      - You can also lower the number of scale points. For example, let’s use a max of 6, then you can adjust the increments to change the amount of scale points on the rating line.
    2. Click Save.
  - You can also create other types of Questions:
    - Polls are created like multiple-choice questions and have the option to show voting results.
    - Fill-in-the-Blank will display your question with an empty textbox below for the learner to type their answer.
    - Ranking is created like multiple-choice questions, but the learner can drag and drop the answers into the desired order.
Click Save once you have added your desired content.
When you have finished adding all lesson parts, click the 'back arrow' to return to your lesson plan.
From here, you can drag and drop lessons to reorder them if needed.
If you want to include a Final Exam, you will follow the exact same steps as you did for lessons.
- Create a new lesson, adjust settings, and add questions just like we did in the previous lesson.
Click Save once you have finalized all of your adjustments. You have now created a lesson plan!
