How to create a rich text lesson?
A rich text lesson combines formatted text, images, and hyperlinks to create an engaging learning experience. It functions much like a blog post but is designed specifically to be part of an online course.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to create a rich text lesson.
Step 1: Create a product
Log in to your account ⇒ click Products ⇒ select Create New Product ⇒ choose your preferred product type ⇒ click Continue.
Every product you publish online must have a title and a brief description. The title helps learners quickly understand what your product is about, while the description provides a snapshot of what they can expect to learn.
Note: You can also take advantage of the AI to suggest the best title for your course. Add the title, click the Suggest Titles button, and the AI will refine it for you. Then, you can select your desired title.
Once the title and description are finalized, click on the Continue button. Then, on the next page, choose how you would like to start - with a template, blank, or built AI. Then, click Create and start building.
Under Curriculum, an introductory course section and lesson will be provided to help you get started. You can either edit or delete the introduction as needed.
Note: You can also use the AI to suggest content for your course, or click on the Lesson button to add your lesson.
Step 2: Choose your Lesson and Video type
Click the Add Lesson button ⇒ select the Rich Text Lesson option ⇒ add your lesson title and description, and click Create Manually or Generate with AI.
