Courses overview

A course is interactive training made of screens. Here's what a course is and what you can build into one.

A course is a piece of interactive training that someone works through and completes, made up of screens. Each screen presents one idea at a time, and you can build a course from content you already have or with built-in AI, then deliver it wherever your people are. There's no limit on how many courses you can build.

What's in a course

Screens are the building blocks of a course, and different screen types let you present content in different ways: text, video, a document screen with a downloadable file, a quiz, and an embed screen for dropping in third-party tools. Within screens you can add images, video, and interactive elements like quizzes, flashcards, hotspots, and accordions. Every screen is mobile responsive and shows a small amount at a time, which keeps learners focused and reduces cognitive load.

How courses are built

There are four ways to create a course: transform a document, convert a presentation, generate one from a prompt, or start from scratch. Built-in AI can draft the whole course for you, and you refine it in the editor, which autosaves as you work.

Designing effective courses

Shorter courses tend to land better. Aim for around 20 screens or fewer, keep videos to roughly 6 minutes, and split a big topic into several smaller courses grouped into a collection.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a limit on how many courses I can build?

No. You can build unlimited courses.

Are certificates available?

Not at this stage. Coassemble doesn't currently issue certificates.

Can I download a course as a file?

No. Courses are interactive, cloud-based experiences, so they can't be exported as a static PDF. If you want to give learners reference material to download, add a document screen with the file attached.

Does my work save automatically?

Yes. Coassemble autosaves as you build, so you won't lose progress.
