Create and edit courses

Create a new course

As an administrator, you can create your own courses for your company.

Create the course

1. Go to Admin > Courses
2. Click “New course” or ”+”
3. Fill in the basic information

Basic information

Field	Description	Required
Course title	Name of the course	Yes
Description	Short summary	Yes
Category	Topic area of the course	Optional
Instructor	Name of the responsible person	Optional
Course image	Preview image (recommended: 16:9)	Optional

AI images in the AI Course Builder

The AI Course Builder can generate matching 16:9 images for lessons and exercises. The default is Krea 2 because it produces good course illustrations at low cost.

For normal course images, keep the visuals descriptive and text-free. Avoid posters, screenshots, slides with headings, or images with lots of text. Titles, labels, and explanations belong in the LMS content, not inside the image.

Style preview

These examples show how the available image styles look:

Recommendation: Use Flat vector or 2D illustration for most courses. Realistic works well for workplace situations, Isometric for processes and systems, and Minimal icon for very reduced learning concepts.

Write the description

A good course description includes:

• Learning objectives: What will participants learn?
• Target group: Who is the course intended for?
• Prerequisites: Required prior knowledge
• Duration: Estimated learning time

Best practices

Before creating a course

• Define learning objectives: What should participants be able to do?
• Collect content: Prepare videos, texts, and documents
• Plan the structure: Sketch chapters and lessons in advance

During creation

• Clear titles: Use meaningful names for chapters and lessons
• Short lessons: Prefer many short lessons over a few long ones
• Use multimedia: Videos and images increase engagement
• Add quizzes: Knowledge checks support learning
