Introduction to Courses

Courses are the core of what you sell and deliver on Edmingle. This article explains how a course is structured, where to find courses in your dashboard, and what you can do with them, so the rest of this collection makes sense as you build.

Where courses live

Courses sit under Products → Courses in the left-hand menu. Products is where all of your sellable offerings live (Courses, Events, Memberships, and Mentorships); Courses is the one you will use most.

How a course is structured

Every course follows the same simple hierarchy. Understanding it now will make building fast later:

Course: the top-level offering a learner buys or enrolls in (for example, "Full-Stack Web Development").
Module: a major part of the course (for example, "Module 1: HTML & CSS"). A course can have many modules.
Section: a group of related content inside a module (for example, "Getting started with HTML").
Material: an individual piece of content inside a section, such as a video, PDF, quiz, or assignment.

So the path from top to bottom is: Course → Module → Section → Material.

You do not choose a "course type" (self-paced, live, or blended) when you create a course. The experience is shaped by what you add: upload videos and documents for self-paced learning, add live classes and batches for instructor-led delivery, or combine both.

The Courses list

When you open Products → Courses, you see a list of all your courses with a Course name column and an Actions menu on each row. From here you can:

Create a new course with the New Course button.
Open a course to edit it.
Reorder how courses appear.
Switch between active courses and Archived Courses using the filter.

Courses are never permanently deleted. When you no longer need one, you archive it. Archived courses stop accepting new enrollments, while learners in active batches keep their access. You can unarchive at any time.

What you can configure on a course

Once a course is open, its settings are organized into tabs. You will meet each of these in the articles that follow:

Details: name, description, thumbnail, overview and promo media, categorization, and completion settings.
Modules: build your curriculum (modules, sections, and materials).
Batches: create learner groups, assign instructors, and set up certificates.
Pricing and Publishing: set pricing plans and publish to Web, Android, and iOS.
Learners: view who is enrolled.
Drip: schedule when content is released.
SEO and Landing Page: control how the course appears and is found.
