Sections And Chapters

After reading this article, you will be able to understand the difference between a section and a chapter and how you can use them to create a well-structured course.

A course is broken down into sections and then into chapters. Each section can have multiple chapters with every chapter containing only one content piece. You can add a video, PDF, embed content, assessments, live events, page builder, add additional downloadable files and setup Live sessions (webinars/meetings)

Creating a section

A section is a group of chapters combined together with each chapter containing pieces of information in it that would include videos, PDFs, embedded content, assessments, live events such as live webinars or live online sessions, pages, and more. 

Creating a Section is simple. Just follow the steps as highlighted below:

  • Login to your Knorish Dashboard
  • Access the dashboard and select ‘Courses’
  • Choose the course and click on the Course Builder icon.
  • Under the curriculum, simply type in the name of the first section by clicking on the +Add section button. The newly added section will now appear on the curriculum page.
  • Click on the +Chapter button next to add chapters to the same section.

How do I rearrange the chapters and sections in my course?

  1. Moving chapters within a section
  2. Moving a chapter among different sections
  3. Moving sections

So let’s begin with these simple and easy steps to get your chapters and sections in order.
