Adding Course Content

You can use a variety of content types for your online courses. Be it videos, images, PDFs, or presentations you can even set up live sessions, build assessments and create pages inside the course.

Additionally, you can share downloadable files with your students for bonus learning outside the purview of an online course. All these content types then become study material for students to learn from at a later date. 

Following are the step-by-step instructions to create and publish your online course:

• Embed: Embed YouTube/Vimeo videos, Google forms, slides, docs or sheets. Learn more here. 
• Assessment: This section can be used to check the user's understanding at various points during the course. Questions can be single-choice, multiple-choice, objective & subjective questions as well. Learn more here.
• Live Events: Live video feeds using Zoom, Google Meets, Microsoft Teams or YouTube Live Stream can be used to create live events.   
• Page Builder: Build and edit beautiful, content-rich pages within your courses. Learn more here.
• Downloadable Files: On the Knorish course site, you can also allow your users to download content like worksheets, brochures, etc. The supported downloadable content types include pdf, PPT, XLSx, Docx, zip, or RAR files. Learn more.

 Note: While Knorish allows you to upload unlimited content in the course(s), we recommend you stick to 100-150 chapters in a course for a user-friendly and seamless experience. If your course curriculum is taking too long to load, consider splitting it into multiple courses and selling it as a bundle using the instructions here.

Additionally, you can also enable the drip functionality to release your content at specific time durations as well.

Using the drip functionality, you can control the release of the content as per a specific timeline. It lets you unlock new content after a specific number of days or weeks or at specific dates as well. So, anytime a new content piece is released, the system automatically shoots an email notification to all enrolled students as per the template listed which is also editable.

Important Considerations : 

Pdf files have various advantages over the doc and ppt formats such as: 

• Enable error-free formatting across the platforms from Office on Mac to Office on Windows.
• As pdfs can be compressed well, thus smaller files can pack more content.
• They ensure data security as they won’t be downloadable without the download now button.
• Having said that, the Doc, PPT, and Excel formats can still be distributed but through the attach downloadable files button. 
• Each video file can be upto 2 GB, the PDF file can be upto 50 MB whereas downloaded files can be upto 25 MB.
