Entering Course Information

To create a course, simply click the courses tab on the left navigation bar of the admin dashboard. From here click the "Add New Course" button in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This should bring up a pull down menu with options to create the various kinds of courses (subscription/non-subscription, single course/course bundle).

For those of you who already have courses on Udemy, there's lastly an option to import your content from there into a Fedora course. All you need to do is provide your Udemy login email, password and full Udemy website url, and we'll do the rest for you.

After choosing one of the options, you should be taken to the 'Course Info' page for that new course. Here you will enter in information such as:

  • the name of the course
  • who the author for the course is
  • a friendly url for people to access content through
    • i.e. my school url is "http://funtimeparachuting.usefedora.com/" and my course "Introduction to Parachuting" might have the friendly url "http://funtimeparachuting.usefedora.com/intro-to-parachuting"
  • a course description that will appear to prospective students when they check out your course
  • Course Categories
    • Please Note: Unfortunately right now the categories do not do much, but we are working on adding the ability to organize your classes by these categories.
  • the price you wish to charge for the course
    • Please Note: We are in the process of adding multiple currency support but as of right now all transactions are in US Dollars.
    • If you have chosen to create a subscription course, you will have to go to the "Subscription Pricing" tab in the left navigation bar and create a pricing plan. All you do is choose whether it is monthly or annually and the amount that you want to charge. Once that is done, you will be redirected to the Subscription Pricing page where you should see your new plan listed as inactive. Simply click activate and it should take affect.

At the bottom of the page is a link for "Show Option Advanced Settings", which allows you to enter in a closing letter for your school. This section is completely optional, but is designed to be a place for you to make one final pitch at the bottom of your course's front page on why someone should enroll.

If you would like to give your course a logo or main image, your can do so by clicking the tab at the top of the page that says "Image" and then "Replace This Image". To add a promotional video, do the same thing with the "Promo Video" tab.
