8 Overview of Basic Course Components Before you start creating a course, let s go over the basic buttons within the Course Edit Mode and the navigational components. When you re in Course Edit Mode you ll see gear icons. When you see a gear icon, it is an indication that a section of the Course Page is editable. Clicking on the icon and selecting Edit Image or Edit HTML block, for example, will allow you to add your own Course Page content. Clicking the arrows in the bottom right corner of the Course will allow you to move forward or backwards to each course page. You can see which Course Page you are by looking in the bottom left corner that says Slides of To Edit, Remove, or Add a Course Page you will use the small icon bar in the upper left corner of the Course. To upload a file or test your Course you will use the Upload File and Test Course links next to the small icon bar in the upper left corner of the Course. Note: Before you add Course Content to your Course Page you will always see the default text and image shown in the screen to the left.

9 Overview of the Table of Contents Before you start creating a course, let s also go over the Table of Contents. To expand the Table of Contents, select the arrow icon on the left side of the Course window. Once the Table of Contents has been expanded, you can see a hierarchy of Course Pages organized into Main Pages and Sub Pages in a logical way according to the learning objectives of a course. To rearrange the order of the Main Pages and the Sub Pages you can drag and drop the title of the Course Pages, or use the arrow keys in the small navigation bar in the top right of the Table of Contents. Example: The Main Page Section 1: How to Build Rapport with Leads is placed after the Welcome Course Page and the Course Objectives Course Page. The Sub Pages How to Connect with People and 3 Key Follow-up Techniques is placed under Section 1: How to Build Rapport with Leads to indicate that those Sub Pages are part of Section 1. Organizing the Table of Contents will help your learners understand how they should move through a course.

If you select "This Level, you will add a new Course Page that is on the same level as the last page you created. For example, if the last page you created was a Main Page, then selecting This Level will allow you to add another Main Page. If you select Subtopic, you will add a new Course Page that is underneath the last page you created, allowing you to add a Sub Page to a Main Page. For example, if the last page you created was a Main Page, then selecting Subtopic will allow you to add a Sub Page.
