How to create a course using systeme.io

In this article, you will learn how to create your own membership site using systeme.io.

Here's how it works!

In the menu, go to Assets and then click on Courses (1).

Then click Add a new course (2) button to be able to create a new course.

Fill in the fields below:

Name (3)
Domain (4)
URL path (5)
Choose one of the available themes (6)

Then, click Save (7) for the settings to be saved.

Note: You can modify this information later. Learn how in our guide: How to modify the information of a course.

Create a course module

Now that you have your course created, it's time to create a module.

To do so, click on the Add module (8).

Enter a name (9) for the module in the popup window, then click Save (10).

Create a lecture

Inside your module, click the Add lecture (11).

Insert the following information in the popup that appears:

The name of the lecture (12)
A delay after the previous lecture (13)
Check Enable comments (4) if you want to allow students to comment on this lecture.

Choose one of the page templates from those available (15)

Click on Save (16) to finalize the creation of a lecture.

Once you finish creating your modules and lectures, make sure to activate them. Learn more about how to activate a lecture here. (Same process for the course).

You can also drag and drop different lectures across different modules.

IMPORTANT: The delay after the previous lecture allows you to control when the student will access the modules or lectures in a drip content access.

Here is the difference between the three types of access:

Full access: This means that your clients will have access to all the lectures of your different modules instantly. Even if you have set a delay between lectures, this delay will not be applied.
Drip content: This means that your clients will access your lectures progressively, according to the delay you have defined.
Partial access: This means that your clients will only have access to a part of your course, i.e., to specific modules selected in advance by the instructor.

To learn more about the difference between the different types of access, we recommend reading the article on this subject by clicking here.

Note: The 'Delay after previous lecture' setting is relative to the previous lecture, not the start of the course.

For example, if you set the delay to 7 days, this lecture will unlock 7 days after the student gains access to the previous one.
