How to use Sections to Organize your Course Content

Each course on LearnWorlds is structured into sections, with each section containing learning activities that serve as your educational content. These sections are crucial for better organizing your content and provide flexibility in how you share it. You can use sections to break down the course into smaller, manageable pieces.

Examples/Use Cases:

  • Organize your course by adding a section for each topic or module.
  • Use sections to release your course content over time with drip-feed.
  • Create a draft section while preparing new material and make it visible when ready.
  • Offer free sections to attract learners to paid courses.
  • Pre-sell your course by displaying upcoming content using the "Soon" status.

In this article, we will learn how to create and organize sections for your course content.

Add Course Sections

To start organizing your courses with sections:


1. Create your Course and navigate to the Course outline tab.

2. Add your sections: 


If your course doesn’t have any sections, you have the following options:

  • Option 1: Click Add Empty Section to start from scratch.
  • Option 2: Import a section from another course. (Follow the respective article for detailed steps.)
  • Option 3: Use the AI assistant to generate a section automatically.

If your course already contains sections, you can:

  • Option 1: Click Add Section to add a new one.
  • Option 2: Upload Section to mass upload files.
  • Option 3: Import a section from another course. (Follow the respective article for detailed steps.)
  • Option 4: Use the AI assistant to generate a section using AI.

When you add a new section, you can enter a title and select its access status (e.g., Draft, Coming Soon, Free, or Paid).

Course Section Access Status

You have the flexibility to set different accessibility statuses for each section, and these can be changed at any time.
