Using course templates (MyStudio)

In MyStudio, course templates make it faster and easier to set up new courses.
Instead of starting from scratch, you can select a template that provides a ready-made structure with pre-built sections, units, and sample content.

Where to Find Templates

You can access templates in three ways:

1. Create Button (Left Menu)

• Click the red Create button.
• Browse or search available templates.
• Use the search bar or filters (e.g., subject, level, category) to narrow results.

2. Templates Page

• Go to Templates from the left-hand navigation.
• View all pre-built course templates in one place.
• Use the search bar or filters (e.g., subject, level, category) to narrow results.

3. My Courses Page

• Click + New Course.
• Choose From Template and you’ll be redirected to the Templates page to make your selection.

How to Use a Template

1. Select the template you want to use.
2. Review its structure—sections, units, and sample content.
3. Click Create from Template.
4. Fill in the course setup form:

• Course Title
• Organization
• Course Number
• Course Run

5. After creation, you’ll be taken to the Course Outline, where you can:

• Replace placeholder content with your own videos, readings, and assessments.
• Add or remove sections as needed.
• Adjust settings (grading, certificates, branding).

Benefits of Using Templates

• Save time: Skip building course structures from scratch.
• Consistency: Ensure courses across your institution follow a common layout.
• Flexibility: Templates are fully editable—you can adapt them to your subject matter.

Tips

• Use templates for recurring course types (e.g., skill modules, legal updates).
• Apply filters to quickly find templates that fit your subject or difficulty level.
• Don’t be afraid to customize heavily—templates are a starting point, not a limitation.

In Summary

Templates in MyStudio give you a head start in creating courses.
They provide structure, consistency, and flexibility—helping you focus more on content while keeping setup quick and simple.
