Creating a Course

Creating a New Course

1. Navigate to Content Manager → Courses
2. Click the Create new entry button
3. Fill in the course details

Title

Choose a clear, descriptive title that tells students what they'll learn. This appears as the main heading on the course card and detail page.

Good examples:

• "Introduction to Data Analytics with Excel"
• "Advanced Python for Machine Learning"
• "Business Writing Fundamentals"

Slug

The slug is the URL-friendly version of your title. Strapi generates it automatically, but you can customize it. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.

Example: "introduction-to-data-analytics-with-excel"

Description

Write a concise summary (2-3 sentences) of what the course covers. This appears on the course card in the catalog and at the top of the course detail page.

Level

Select the appropriate difficulty level:

• Beginner — No prior knowledge required
• Intermediate — Some foundational knowledge expected
• Advanced — Significant prior experience needed

Skills

Add skill tags that describe what students will learn. These help students find relevant courses. Click the "Add" button and type each skill.

Examples: "Excel", "Data Visualization", "Pivot Tables", "Dashboard Design"

Saving vs Publishing

After filling in the fields:

• Click Save to save as a draft (not visible to students)
• Click Publish to make it live immediately

You can always save as a draft first and publish later when your lessons are ready.
