Write your class description and instructions
Separate the public class description from guidance available after enrollment.
Open your class from Your Classes, then choose Instructions in the class editor.
This page has two different audiences. Keep anything that should only be available after enrollment out of the public description.
Write the public description
Under Course Description, explain what students will learn, who the class is for, and what they need before starting. This text is publicly available, including to people who have not enrolled.
A useful description can answer these questions:
- What will students be able to make or do?
- What prior knowledge or software is needed?
- What does the class include?
- How should someone decide whether it suits them?
Add enrollment instructions
Under Enrollment Instructions, add guidance for people who have joined the class. For example, explain the recommended lesson order, how to prepare their workspace, and where to find lesson downloads.
This content is only available to enrolled students and people authorized to view the class. Use the lesson editor for instructions or files that belong to a specific lesson.
Save and review
- Choose Save changes.
- Open Landing Page to review the public description.
- After adding a lesson, open Preview Course to check the enrolled experience.
Both fields support formatted text. Paste clean text when copied formatting looks wrong, then apply the formatting you need in the editor. TeachKit removes unsupported HTML, so do not rely on scripts or arbitrary embeds in these fields.
Next, add video lessons.
