How courses work

A course is the unit students practice through. Inside a course you'll build modules, then topics, then add questions. Once you've set pricing (if needed), you can publish the course.

Choose Your Course Structure

Every course organizes content into topics with practice questions. Pick the level of grouping that fits your subject.

Option A

Modules & Topics

Course → Module → Topic → Question

Group topics into modules for a structured, sequential learning path.

  • Best for: Multi-unit subjects, scaffolded curricula
  • Example: Algebra with modules like "Equations" and "Graphing"
  • Learner experience: Progress through modules in order
Option B

Topics Only

Course → Topic → Question

Add topics directly to a course without the module layer — simpler and faster.

  • Best for: Shorter courses, focused skill practice
  • Example: Vocabulary Building with topics directly under the course
  • Learner experience: Jump straight into topics
Tip: Start with Topics Only for a quick MVP. You can add modules later if the course grows.

Add Topics (Inside Modules)

Topics are the practice units — each topic should cover one concept.
