The curriculum is the outline of your course: modules that group your lessons, in the order your students follow them. You build it on the Curriculum tab of a course. If you do not have a course yet, see Creating a course.

Change the order
Drag a module or a lesson by its handle to move it. WEMASY saves the new order right away. On the curriculum you can also Publish or Unpublish a lesson, mark it as Free preview, or Delete it.
Release modules over time
Use Opens after (days) on a module to release it a number of days after a student enrolls. Leave it empty to open the module right away. A module with a delay shows a badge such as Opens after 7 days. Students see the date the module opens in their course outline.
When the Email students when a module opens setting on the Details tab is on, each student gets one email per module when it opens.
Tip: Mark one early lesson as Free preview. Visitors can read it on the course page before they enroll or buy, so they know what to expect. See Showing courses on your website.
Frequently asked questions
Why can I not unpublish or delete a lesson?
A published course needs at least one published lesson. Unpublish the course first, or publish another lesson, then change this one.
Can I upload videos into a lesson?
A video lesson uses a link. Paste a link to your video on YouTube, Vimeo or a video file in the Video link field.
