How to create an online course

Creating your first online course and not sure where to start? We’ll guide you step by step, so you can get up and running quickly.

A product acts as the foundation for your course and contains everything your students need, including lessons, videos, downloads, and other course materials.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to create a new online course and get it ready for content.

Create your online course

On the Products page, click the green Create Product button.

This will open the product creation window.

Add a title

Give your online course a title.

This title is displayed on landing pages, checkout pages, product lists, and throughout the student experience.

You have two options:

Write Yourself

Select Write yourself and enter your course title manually.

Get help from LUMI

If you need inspiration, select LUMI and provide a short description of your course.

Based on your description, LUMI will suggest a title for you.

Select a product type

Choose the product type that best matches your online course.

The selected product type is used to determine the correct tax classification during checkout and may also affect which features and functionality are available to you and your customers.

Create your course

Once you've added a title and selected a product type, click Create Product.

Your new online course has now been created and is ready for content.

What's next?
