Course anatomy: courses, modules & lessons
Every course is three layers deep — the course, the modules inside it, and the lessons inside those. Once that mental model clicks, the whole editor makes sense.

Think of it the way you already think about a classroom subject. The course is the whole subject (say, 'Class 10 Physics'). A module is a chapter or unit inside it. A lesson is a single sitting — one video, one reading, one quiz. Open /dashboard/courses → New course to start the top layer; you add the layers underneath in the Curriculum tab.
The three layers
- Course — the thing students buy or enrol in. Holds the title, thumbnail, price, and SEO. One course = one subject or program.
- Module — a group of related lessons (a chapter / unit / week). A module has a title and an optional short description.
- Lesson — a single piece of content: a video, a reading, a quiz, a live class, and more (see the 9 lesson types).
Reordering
In the Curriculum tab you can drag modules to resequence them, and drag lessons within or between modules. Nothing is locked in — restructure as your course grows.
Start small. One module with three or four lessons is enough to publish. You can keep adding modules after launch without disturbing students who already enrolled.
