How templates save time in course/playlist creation

In MyStudio, templates are designed to make course and playlist creation faster, easier, and more consistent.

They provide a ready-made structure that you can build on, instead of starting with a blank page.

Why Templates Save Time

• Pre-built structure

Templates come with sections, units, or playlist items already organised.

Instead of creating each part manually, you start with a complete outline.

• Reduced setup effort

Common components (like placeholder videos, readings, or assessments) are already included, so you only need to replace or update them.

• Standardised formatting

Institutions can maintain a consistent look and feel across courses or playlists, without instructors having to rebuild common layouts each time.

• Reusability

A single template can be used repeatedly to create new courses or playlists, saving time across multiple projects.

Example: Course Creation

Without a template:

• Add a Section → Add a Subsection → Add Units → Add Components one by one.

With a template:

• Select a “4-week Course Template.”
• All sections, units, and placeholders are already there—simply add your materials.

Example: Playlist Creation

Without a template:

• Add videos or courses one at a time and arrange them manually.

With a template:

• Choose a “Skill Training Playlist Template.”
• The items are already structured—just replace or add new ones.

Benefits for Instructors and Admins

• Faster setup: Reduce course or playlist build time dramatically.
• Focus on content: Spend energy on teaching materials, not on layout.
• Fewer errors: Start with a tested, consistent structure.
• Scalability: Easily create multiple offerings using the same format.

In Summary

Templates in MyStudio save time by giving you a ready-made, editable structure for courses and playlists.

They let you focus on creating quality learning content instead of repeatedly building layouts from scratch.
