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 course

1. Log in to your account ⇒ click Courses ⇒ select Create New Course ⇒ choose your preferred course type (i.e. Standard Premium Course) ⇒ click Next.

2. Every course you publish online must have a title and a brief description. The title helps learners quickly understand what your course is about, while the description provides a snapshot of what they can expect to learn.

Note: You can also take AI help to suggest the best title for your course. You just need to add the title, click on the Suggest Titles button, and AI will refine the title for you, or you can select your version.

Once the title and description are finalized, click on the Create Course button.

3. Under Lessons, 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 AI to suggest content for your lesson, or simply click on the Add Lesson button to add your lesson.

Step 2: Choose your type of lesson

1. Click the Add Lesson button ⇒ enter the lesson title ⇒ check the Rich Text box ⇒ click the Next button.

2. On the next screen, you'll have the option to refine your lesson title and add a description. This section includes AI support to help enhance your content. To use AI assistance, simply click the AI buttons provided. If you prefer to enter your text, select the Create Manually option.

Step 3: Write your text lesson
