On the Courses Plan and up, you can create a Course inside a Space using one of our Course templates.

When you create a new Space, select either a Cohort Course Template or Content Course Template.

Content Course Template includes:

By default, a new Space is set to "Only Logged in Members" can see the Space. This lets you create your Course privately and share it when you're ready.

When creating your Space, you’ll choose:

After you select Create Space, you’ll see three options:

Select View this Space to start adding Course Materials and adjusting Course Settings.

A Course includes four content types:

Use the Instant Course Outline to generate a first draft of your Course structure. This gives you Sections and Lessons you can refine as you go.

You can update Course Settings at any time by going to the gear icon in the Space > Space Features > Course.

Customize the name of the Course, Sections, Lessons and Quizzes.

On web and mobile, choose how your Course appears: Thumbnail View, Simple View, or Grid View.

Uses each Lesson’s default image. You can upload a custom thumbnail in each Lesson’s settings.

Displays Lessons and Sections in a simplified list. Videos show a play icon; Quizzes show a quiz icon.

Shows a more visual, dynamic layout. This view works best when you have multiple Lessons organized into Sections.

Choose where you would like all Sections expanded when a member first opens the Course or just a single Section.

Expand All Sections:

With this option, all Sections are expanded when a member opens the Course. As the member progresses through the Course, completed Sections will collapse.

Expand Single Section:

This option is helpful if your Course has many Sections and you don’t want to overwhelm members by showing all Lessons and Quizzes at once. Here’s how this option works:

You can allow people outside the Course to preview Lessons or Sections, regardless of your Space’s privacy.

To enable this, go to each Lesson Settings or Section Settings page.

When your Course is ready, you can update privacy or add a paid plan.
Your Mighty Network’s overall privacy also affects who can see a Space.

You can decide whether only Hosts and moderators can invite people to the Course, or whether all members can invite. By default, all members can invite.

To manage Course members, go to Members. You can:

See our inviting article for more details.

By default, a new Course and its contents (Overview, Lessons, and Sections) are set to Hidden.

This allows you to create content privately before making it visible to members.

You can also make specific items visible anytime:

When you make a Lesson, Section, or Overview visible, the following will appear to students:

Students will always be able to open and view the Overview.
The Space privacy level also determines who can see any visible content.

If you don’t yet have Course content, you can run your first Course live.

Turn on the Feed feature as your main Course page, invite a small group of students, and follow a simple weekly rhythm:

You can run a Live Course with as few as 5–10 people.

At the end of each week, add a Lesson or Section using video replays from your sessions.
