Create a Course

The MagicBox platform allows the publisher to create, publish and assign courses to a school/district and individual users. A course has a clearly detailed structure, with a table of content for a hierarchal view of content, activities and assessments. Through this feature, publishers can create a well-structured course, thereby increasing their ability to provide a consistent and high-quality learning experience for students. Course authoring also allows publishers to add new content to the course or add existing content already available on the portal.

Follow the below steps to create a course:

1. Set up a course

2. Create a course structure

3. Add content to the course- 

• From the left panel or from the plugin options within the CK editor 

4. Add course metadata.
