How to build a course?

With GetResponse, you can build your own course to share learning materials and resources, and diversify how you monetize your expertise. Courses will help you build your audience, establish yourself as an authority in your field, build credibility, and expand your personal or professional brand.

Courses offered by GetResponse are structured as the following:

1. Course – an extensive learning package that covers a whole subject or skill, or a complete program with all the modules and lessons. It includes everything you need to learn about a certain topic.
2. Module – a smaller section of the course. It covers one part of the subject in detail and includes several lessons (like a chapter in a book).
3. Lesson – a single teaching unit within a module. It can be a video, text, or another type of content that teaches one specific thing.

How to manage modules and lessons

On the left side, you can see the Course navigator menu. Here you can manage your modules and lessons.

When you hover over three dots next to the name of your module you can:

• Edit title
• Duplicate module – this will create an exact copy of your module and all of the lessons in it.
• Delete module – This will delete your module and all of the lessons in it.
  
  

Your lessons also have similar options:

• Mark as ready / Mark as draft – this option changes the state of your lesson. Lessons marked as ready will be shown in your course.
• Duplicate – creates an exact copy of your lesson.
• Delete – will remove your lesson from a module.
  
  

You can change the order of your modules and lessons by clicking the three horizontal lines next to their title and then dragging and dropping them.
