Course Content & Modules

Build your class curriculum on the Home tab. Create sections, add learning modules with videos and attachments, and control drip content and visibility for enrolled students.

Overview

Course Content & Modules enables you to:

• Create sections to organize modules
• Add learning modules with video URLs, uploads, or class files
• Attach PDFs, documents, and images
• Control drip content, prerequisites, and manual locks
• Reorder content with drag and drop

Accessing Course Home

1. Open a class from My Classes
2. Go to the Home tab
3. Use Add Section or + Add Module to start building content

Creating sections

1. On Home, click Add Section
2. Enter a section title (for example, Video Lectures or Week 1 — Introduction)
3. Click Save

After saving, use + Add Module, Quick assignment, or Attach existing from the section header.

Creating modules

1. In a section, click + Add Module
2. Enter a Module Title and optional Description
3. Add video content using one of three options:
   • Video URL — paste a YouTube or direct video link
   • Upload Video — upload a file directly to Lumus
   • Select from Class Files — choose a file already in the class file manager
4. Use the rich-text editor for written module content
5. Optionally configure Drip Content, Prerequisites, Public Preview, or Lock module for enrolled students
6. Attach supporting files (PDF, documents, images — up to 10 files, 5 MB each)
7. Click Create Module

Drip content and access controls

Turn on Enable Drip Content for the module to set a release date, delay days after prerequisites, and prerequisite modules. Use Lock module for enrolled students to hide a module until you unlock it manually.

YouTube and direct video links

Paste a YouTube or direct video URL in the Video URL field. The video embeds in the module for students.

Upload video to Lumus

Choose Upload Video or Select from Class Files to attach a video stored in Lumus. Keep the browser tab open until the upload progress shows Completed, then save the module.

Organizing content

Drag modules between sections or into Ungrouped, reorder items, and use the lock, edit, and delete icons on each row.

Use the Enable Drip Content toggle at the top of the class page to control class-wide drip scheduling alongside per-module settings.

Quick assignment from Course Home

Use Quick assignment on any section header to create an assignment without leaving the course content view. See Creating Assignments for the full assignment form.

Best Practices
