Teach: create your first course

3 min readUpdated 10 July 2026Learning & courses

Anyone can teach on Scholardemia. Courses start life as private drafts, so you can build the content at your own pace and publish only when it is ready for students.

Create the draft

  1. Open the teaching space

    Go to Learning → Teach. This is where all the courses you instruct live, with filters for published courses and drafts.

  2. Create a course

    Start a new course and give it a title. It is created as a draft that only you can see, and opens in the course editor.

  3. Describe it

    Add a summary, a fuller description, a cover image, and a category so students can find the course when browsing. A clear one-line summary does most of the work on the course card.

Build the content

Add chapters in the order students should take them. Each chapter can carry a video and supporting attachments such as slides or readings. See Structure chapters & lessons for how to organise them well. If you plan to charge for the course, set the price before publishing; see Price & sell a course.

Publish

When you publish, Scholardemia runs a completeness check; if something essential is missing, such as a summary or at least three published chapters, you are told exactly what to fix. Once live, the course appears in the catalogue and students can enrol. You can keep editing after publishing, and existing students keep their access and progress.
