Step 1: Create a New Course
Start by logging into your LearnWorlds dashboard. From there, click Create New Course.
You’ll be asked to:
- Name your course (something clear and benefit-driven)
- Add a short description of what the course teaches
- Upload a cover image that reflects the topic or audience
These are the first things people see when they land on your course page, so keep it clean and compelling.
Step 2: Set Up Course Access
Next, choose who can access your course. LearnWorlds gives you flexible access settings:
- Draft – not visible to users
- Free – open to anyone with an account
- Paid – requires a one-time payment or subscription
- Private – access by invite only
- Coming Soon – promote before launch
- Enrollment Closed – course not accepting new students
Most creators start in Draft mode while building and later switch to Paid or Coming Soon before launch.
Step 3: Set the Course Price
Before you start building, decide how you’ll price your course.
- Look at similar courses in your niche
- Consider your audience’s budget
- Decide between a one-time payment, a subscription, or a payment plan
LearnWorlds lets you set multiple pricing tiers or bundle them with other products if you want to offer upsells later.
You don’t need to finalize pricing now, but having a target in mind helps you build with purpose.
Step 4: Use the AI Assistant to Generate a Course Outline
This is where LearnWorlds really saves time.
Instead of writing your entire outline from scratch, use the built-in AI Assistant to do it for you.
Here’s how:
- Click Generate Outline with AI
- Enter your course topic or working title
- Select a tone (casual, academic, professional, etc.)
- Optionally, add a brief summary of what the course should cover
- Click Generate
Within seconds, you’ll get a full course structure broken into sections, each with recommended lessons or learning activities. You can accept the outline as-is, tweak it, or regenerate it if you want different options. Either way, it cuts down hours of planning into minutes.
Step 5: Build Out the Course Content
Now that your outline is ready, you can start filling in the content.
Each section of your outline can include:
- Video lessons (upload or embed)
- PDFs or slides for reading materials
- Quizzes and assessments
- Assignments for hands-on learning
- Live sessions via Zoom or other tools
- Text lessons for written instructions or explanations
Everything is drag-and-drop, and you can preview each lesson as you build.
Pro tip: Start with one module at a time. You don’t need the full course complete to launch, just the first few sections.
Step 6: Preview and Finalize
Once your content is in place, use LearnWorlds’ Preview tool to walk through the course as a student.
Check for:
- Typos or layout issues
- Missing videos or files
- Lesson order and flow
- Broken links or inactive buttons
Fix anything that feels off. Then go back to Course Access and switch the status to Paid, Free, or Coming Soon, depending on how you want to release it. You’re now ready to publish and promote.
