It's important to double-check your course settings before going live, to make sure you have completed all the settings required for a Public (Free) class.

Class settings

Step 1

Go to Course Setup > General > Change Class

Step 2

Check that your class type is set to Public (Free)

Step 3

Make sure that this Public (Free) class is set as the default.

Course start date

This step is optional, but we highly recommend setting a start date where your course goes live in 3-4 weeks' time. This enables you to promote your course and get a group of learners starting together. This article explains in further detail.

Step 1

Go to Administer Learners > Timeline.

Step 2

Set the class to be Scheduled and set the start date and time.

Optional

If you need to stage the release of your modules, you can do this here in the Class Schedule. Drag the modules to the right to delay the start time.

Course landing page

This is the page that potential learners see before deciding to enrol. This is more your marketing page, where you can highlight the key benefits of taking your course for learners.

Step 1

Go to Course Setup > Landing Page.

Step 2

Make sure you have completed all of the components, including adding a promo image or video.

Step 3

To see how the page looks from the learner side, click on View landing page at the bottom of the page.
