Dividing up a Course

    Hi! I wanted to ask what is the best way to go about the following: I created only one course, which has 65 (!!!!!) lessons. After a few months since I began, I came to realize that it was a TERRIBLE idea, as I could create at least 3 different courses from this content, beginners, intermediate, advance, etc. I have been producing it “as I go”, so, I learn a lot at every step.
    What would be the best and simplest way of dividing up the course and creating those different levels? If you have an article or video about it, please share.
    Thanks a lot!

  • @tzvibendaniel,

    We don’t really have any prebuilt way to “break” an existing course into parts. It may seem like you should be able to just drag stuff from one course to another without any issue but we currently don’t have any way of moving the student’s progress through one course into another course that’s a fraction of this course. I wouldn’t even know where to start to start writing code to solve this problem.

    If I were in your position I’d do the following:

    1) Create 3 new courses
    2) Use the “Add Existing Lesson” functionality to copy the lessons from the current course into those 3 courses
    3) Use course prerequisites to string these 3 courses together in the correct order (if that matters)
    4) Mark the current course as “hidden”. This will allow any users in this course to continue through this course. New users would see the new courses and not the massive “legacy” course and they’d start working their way through the smaller more digestible set of courses

    Hope that helps
