Course Page

Course Page

The course page content area is where you add a course title, description and featured image for your course. This is what people will see before they enroll (or purchase) the course.
LearnDash will automatically add a course content table with a list of lessons, topics & quizzes associated with the course below your course description. Course page content is your own custom information that will be displayed as soon as the page is loaded, immediately underneath the 「Course」 tab.

Here is what your visitors will see:

NOTE

Video Progression
Video progression is a way to require users to watch the entirety of a video before they can complete the lesson. Please see our full guide on video progression.
Assignment Uploads

Assignment uploads cannot be enabled if either video progression or lesson timer are enabled.

To allow users to upload assignments to the lesson, enable the Assignment Uploads option. You』ll be presented with a few additional options:
File extensions
You can specify exactly which file types may be uploaded.

Enter each allowed file type in the box (without the leading .)
Separate multiple file types with a comma
Leave blank to allow any file type to be uploaded

For example, enter the following to allow only Microsoft Word, Excel & PowerPoint files:

doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx

Here』s a list of common file extensions »
File size limit
You can specify the maximum file size allowed to be uploaded.

Enter a number, followed by M (for megabytes)

For example, to limit uploads to 5 megabytes, enter 5M.

Points
If you』d like to award points to a user when they submit an assignment:

Next to Points, turn the setting on
Enter the number of points to be awarded for a submitted assignment

Grading Type
There are two options for how assignments are graded:

Auto-approve (default)
No grading or approval is needed. The assignment will be automatically approved & full points will be awarded.
Manually approve
An admin or group leader must approve the assignment. The lesson cannot be completed until the assignment is approved.

If you choose to manually approve an assignment, you have additional options:
Limit number of uploaded assignments
Enter a number in the box to specify the maximum number of files a user can upload for this assignment.

Leave blank for unlimited (default)

Allow file deletion
Enable this option to allow the user to delete their own uploaded files. This is only possible up until the assignment has been approved.
Forced Lesson Timer
Enabling a forced lesson timer will require the user to spend a certain amount of time on the lesson page before they can mark it complete. The lesson cannot be completed until the set time has elapsed.

Next to Forced Lesson Timer, turn the setting on
