Before You Begin

The steps below assume you have copied the layouts from the online course template package to your new course.

The online course template package that you've purchased includes unique, branded layouts that you can apply to content slides in your online courses. These layouts allow you to display your content in a consistent manner.

When you choose a layout for your content slide, be sure to consider:

  • Will the content slide be used to introduce the course or a chapter in the course?

  • Will the content slide include a list? Or will the text on the page be in paragraph format?

  • Will the content slide include an image, textbox, or video?

  • Where should the image, textbox, or video be positioned on the page?

You should NOT manually edit the HTML to make branding updates to your courses. Manually editing the HTML can make updates more difficult and has the potential to break the code used in your course template.

If you need the branding used in your course templates updated, we recommend that you contact our Success Desk for assistance.

To use a layout in your course, you’ll copy the HTML from the layout to your course’s content slide as detailed below:

  1. Edit your online course’s content so that the Course Builder Dashboard is displayed.
