How do I create a course?

In Cerego, you’ll see what we call Courses. This is the traditional meaning of a course. For example, Sociology 101 is an example of a course name. To create a course, you’ll add what we call Assignments. You may also see assignments referred to as sets or modules. In your experience, you may call these chapters or sections. The thing to remember: Assignments are the pieces of content that make up your course. An example: A Sociology 101 course could have assignments including Race, Nationality, and Ethnicity; Social Movements; Sociology of Gender and Sexuality; Mass Media; Youth Cultures - and more.

Once you’ve created a course, you’ll assign it to learners - then track learners’ progress to reach goals.

We’ll go ahead and write out the steps too.

STEPS: Creating a Course

1. When logged into Cerego, go to the Cerego logo on the top left of your screen. In the dropdown menu, click on “Courses.”
2. On the next page that pulls up, you’ll see a green rectangle that says “Create a Course” on the top right. Click on that.
3. Write a Course title. Keep it simple and short. Don’t try to be creative. Write the subject, or topic. “Sociology 101” for example.
4. Write a Course Description. You want this to be a straightforward and brief summary. Tell learners what they’ll study and state the course objective. Example for Sociology 101: “This course serves as an introduction to Sociology. Learners will complete the following assignments to develop a basic understanding of Sociology: Race, Nationality, and Ethnicity; Social Movements; Sociology of Gender and Sexuality; Mass Media; and Youth Cultures
5. Add a photo that visually tells learns what the course is about.
6. Click “Create Course.”

Your course won’t be published yet - that happens after you’ve added assignments and go through the publishing process. You can find what you have under the “unpublished” section in the Courses tab.
