Design your course metadata
Setting up your course metadata is the first essential step. This includes:
- Creating an engaging course title
- Writing a compelling tagline
- Designing an attractive thumbnail

Course Enrollment Validity
You can set the enrollment validity for your course. For example, Forever means that learners will have access to the course content indefinitely after enrollment. Adjusting this setting allows you to control access duration for your students. You can also set up custom validity, where you will have to enter the number of hours learners should have access to the course after enrollment. Once this time expires, they will no longer be able to view the content.Course Created At
This field shows the date when the course was created (e.g., 30 Sep, 2025). Changing this date will reorder your course on the landing page as well as in your instructor dashboard. This can help highlight newer or updated courses to your audience. All changes are saved automatically in real-time as you edit. We’ll discuss this in more detail later in this guide.Set course goals and outcomes
