Course Settings

Course Settings
To create a new course, you’ll begin in WP Courseware’s Courses page. This is also where you will manage existing courses.

When you create your first new course, WP Courseware will create a course listing page for front-end display of all of your courses and it will automatically add new courses to the list of courses on this page. It will also create a new course outline page for the course you’ve just created and this page will be where your students navigate the course.

The first step is to give your course a title and configure all of the course settings, so that’s what we’ll cover in this unit. In the next unit, we’ll begin adding content to our course.

First, give your course a title. After entering the title, you would begin configuring the course settings by navigating through each tab. Descriptions for each setting can be found within the tabs, however, here is an overview of the settings you would configure.

Certificates: Skip this step for now. After creating a certificate with WP Courseware’s visual certificate builder, it would appear here and you could apply that certificate to this course. However, we’ll look at the certificate builder in a later unit.
