Create chapters and lessons

Organize your course, create lessons, and build their content with video, article, quiz, and other blocks.

Chapters give your course a natural order. They can represent modules, weeks, or the major steps toward an outcome. Each chapter contains one or more lessons.

Add a chapter

Open the Courses module, choose the course you want to organize, then click Add chapter.

Give it a Title and, if desired, a Short description explaining what students will find in this section.
