First, go to the 'Courses' > 'All Courses' > click on the desired 'Course'.


Click 'Curriculum'.


Inside the Curriculum, you can 'Add Section' and 'Add Lesson' to each section.


To create your first section, type into 'Section Name' (e.g., "Introduction") and click 'Save Changes,' and it will reflect on the left-hand side as well.


Now, create new section called "Videos". Click 'Add Section', Type "Videos" in the 'Section Name' and click 'Save Changes'.


We also have the option to 'Bulk Upload' your content (Videos, PDF, PPT, Audio, etc), and we will automatically create lessons for you (under the active section) for each of the files you upload.

If you wish to upload, for example, 10 videos to your course, click the 'Videos' section that we just created, then click 'Bulk Upload.' It will automatically create individual lessons for each of the videos you upload.


You can also 'Preview Curriculum as Student'.


You can also 'Preview' & 'Publish Course'.

Preview your 'Sales Page as Visitor', 'Course Access Page as a Student' and 'Course Curriculum as a Student'.


To 'Add Lesson' to your 'Introduction' section, click 'Add Lesson'


A lesson called 'Untitled' will be added to the Introduction section. We can change it to 'Welcome to the Course' in the 'Lesson Name' & 'Save Changes'.


Within this lesson, you can 'Add Content' with various media types that you can upload, including Video, Audio, E-book (PDF with a flip book action), a PowerPoint, PDF, Text, Custom Code, Downloads, Quiz, Survey, SCORM or HTML packages, Assignments, or Live.


The 'Live' content option is seamlessly connected to the live feature, enabling you to effortlessly integrate a live lesson if you have set one up in the 'Live' section.

Please note that all of these options are applicable to each lesson separately. 'Enable Free Preview' of the particular lesson without the need to purchase the entire course. It's a useful feature if you want to showcase the course content or extend a welcoming gesture to potential learners. You have the flexibility to enable this free preview for each lesson individually.

Additionally, the lesson can be 'Set as Draft' if you're still working on it and don't want it published yet.

Furthermore, you can 'Set as Compulsory'. By doing so, your students will need to complete this specific lesson before moving on to other lessons.

Lastly, 'Enable Discussion' within a particular lesson. This allows all students who have purchased the lesson to actively participate in the discussion, fostering real engagement and interaction in each lesson.

You can also 'Bulk Upload' within each lesson, and you have the option to 'Copy' a lesson as well.

Now you can add as many sections and as many lessons inside of each section as you wish. You can also use multiple media types in each lesson.

Let's 'Add Content' to the "Welcome to the Course" lesson.

Add 'Text'.

To add a text module, it offers all 'WYSIWYG' features for formatting. It's effortless to insert and format text, and you can also add links if needed.

Developers can access the HTML for more advanced formatting options. You have additional choices for text formatting, such as bold, italic, and strikethrough. Moreover, you can insert images, tables, lines, and use undo/redo actions, underlining, lists, bullets, and subscripts. Additionally, you can easily modify the text color, size, alignment, and font type according to your preference.

Next, click 'Save'.

The text added to the lesson will be displayed in this section.

Now, 'Add Video' to the "Welcome to the Course" lesson.

You can 'Upload Video' from your computer. If you have uploaded any videos to your 'Video Library', you can select and use them directly. You also have the option to use 'Embed Code' from platforms like YouTube if you prefer. Please note that the 'Maximum upload file size: 2GB'.

To 'Upload Video' just drag & "Drop a video file here to upload" area.

Video has been added to your lesson and is displayed here. If you notice a checker on your video, it simply indicates that the video is processing. Please allow it a little more time, and it will be ready once the processing is complete.

Now, you will notice that we have two distinct media types here: Text and Video. You can easily rearrange these elements by simply dragging them down. Zenler makes it effortless to work with and organize content within the system. You can add as many items as you want, but keep in mind the size of your added content. If you include multiple videos, it may take longer to load.

Next, click 'Bulk Upload', to add two video lessons into the "Videos" section in our course.

Upload your videos here & click 'Upload'


Now two video lessons are uploaded and displayed in the curriculum.


Now, go to 'Preview Curriculum as Student'.


This will open up a new tab and you will be able to 'Preview' your course as a student.


For more information about various media types in courses, including Video, Audio, E-books, PowerPoint, PDF, Custom Code Downloads, Quizzes, Surveys, SCORM/HTML Packages, Assignments, and Live lessons, please refer to the 'Support Documents'.
