Step 1 — Part B — Build your modules and lessons

Now build out the content structure inside your course. Alvéya creates a sample module automatically when your course is set up — rename it or delete it and start fresh.

The structure:

  • Modules (folder icon) — your main sections or weeks. Give each one a clear name.

  • Lessons — the individual content pieces inside each module. Add them using the Add Lesson button. Each lesson can be a standard lesson, quiz, assessment, or credential.

  • Sub-modules — an optional layer inside a lesson when you need to break a topic into multiple distinct parts.

Module publishing options:

  • Draft — not visible to students yet.

  • Published — live and accessible.

  • Locked — visible but not accessible until you unlock it manually.

  • Drip — unlocks automatically after a set number of days, or on a specific date. Configure this inside the module settings.

Inside each lesson:

  • Upload your video (up to 4GB) or audio (up to 2GB), or embed from YouTube or another URL if your file is larger or already hosted elsewhere.

  • Add a lesson thumbnail, downloadable resources, and written content below the video (summaries, transcripts, notes).

  • Use the Preview button (top right) to see exactly what your students will see.

💡 Navigate between lessons using the left panel to copy and paste content without going back to the main course view each time.

💡 To reorder modules or lessons, hover over the item, click and hold the grid of dots, and drag it into position.

⚠️ Students can only see content that is set to Published. Check every module and lesson before you send anyone to the course.
