CourseGlade

Courses & curriculum

Structure a course with modules and items, and organize your catalog with categories, tags, and difficulty.

A course in CourseGlade is a container for a curriculum — modules (sections) that hold lessons and quizzes in the order you choose.

The building blocks

  • Course — title, description, thumbnail, price, and taxonomy
  • Module — a named section inside the course (labeled “Module” in the curriculum builder)
  • Item — a lesson or quiz (and an assignment, with the Pro Assignments addon)

See Create your first course for the exact builder steps.

What a course holds

The course editor is organized into tabs beyond the curriculum:

  • General — title, slug, short and full description, thumbnail, intro video, duration, difficulty, categories, and tags
  • Pricing — regular and sale price (0 = free); see Payment gateways
  • Access & Visibility — visibility (Public, Private, or Password protected), scheduling dates, per-course overrides for Course Reviews, Q&A / Discussions, and Sequential Learning, and (with the Certificates addon) the certificate design
  • Enrollment — Maximum Students (0 = unlimited) and a Featured Course toggle
  • Instructors — assign instructors and set revenue splits; see Instructor profiles
  • Advanced — What You’ll Learn, Target Audience, Requirements, and Downloadable Resources

Item types

Inside a module you can add:

  • Video Lesson — YouTube, Vimeo, or a self-hosted file; see Video lessons
  • Text Lesson — rich-text content with attachments
  • Quiz — any of the seven question types
  • Assignment — student submissions (Pro Assignments addon)

Each lesson has its own settings — Allow Preview, Make Mandatory, and Enable Comments.

Organize the catalog

CourseGlade registers three taxonomies:

  • Course categories (courseglade_course_cat)
  • Course tags (courseglade_course_tag)
  • Difficulty (courseglade_difficulty) — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, All Levels are created for you

These give you clean, SEO-friendly archive URLs and let you group your catalog.

Catalog filtering

The [courseglade_courses] catalog page shows a search box and a sort control (newest, oldest, title A–Z, title Z–A). You can scope the catalog to a category with the shortcode’s category attribute or the ?course_category= URL parameter:

[courseglade_courses category="design"]

The Courses Per Page and Grid Columns for the catalog are set in Settings → Course → Catalog Layout.
