How many steps are in the course creation wizard in ERP SchoolAura?

Course creation is a 5-step wizard: Step 1 Basic Details, Step 2 Media, Step 3 Chapters, Step 4 Quizzes, and Step 5 Certificate. All five steps must be completed before the course is published. Progress is saved after each step so you can return and continue at any time.

What fields are required in the Basic Details step?

Five fields are mandatory in Step 1: Course Name, Main Category (School, Government, or Entrance), Category (the sub-category, populated after selecting Main Category), Course Type (Free or Paid), Course Duration Type (days, weeks, or months), and Course Description. Course Language and Subject are optional.

Can I save my progress and return to finish a course later?

Yes. Data is saved automatically after each step. You can return to edit any step later without losing your progress. You cannot proceed to the next step unless the current step is fully completed.

What media files are required in Step 2?

Two media items are required: a Thumbnail (JPG or PNG cover image, recommended size 1280 × 720 px in 16:9 ratio) and a Course Title Video (either upload a video file directly from your device or paste a YouTube URL). Provide one or the other for the video – not both. To remove an uploaded file, click the red X button on the preview.

How do I add chapters and lessons in Step 3?

Click '+ Add Chapters', enter a chapter title and estimated time duration, then save. Chapter numbers are assigned automatically in sequence. Each chapter can contain multiple lesson items such as videos, PDFs, or notes. You can also attach a chapter-level exam using '+ Add Exam'. Click Save & Continue when all chapters are configured.

What happens if I delete a chapter?

Deleting a chapter is irreversible. All lesson content inside the chapter will also be permanently removed. Use the Edit option to update chapter name or duration instead of deleting if you only need to make changes.

What is the difference between a chapter exam and a course quiz?

A chapter exam is attached to an individual chapter in Step 3 and is taken after completing that chapter. A course quiz is added in Step 4 and is taken after the student completes the full course. Multiple quizzes can be linked to a single course.

How do I add a quiz to a course?

In Step 4, click '+ Add Quiz' to select an existing MCQ exam from LMS Beta MCQ Exams and link it to the course. Multiple quizzes can be added. Deleting a quiz from this step only unlinks it from the course – the original MCQ exam is not deleted.

How do I enable certificates for course completion?

In Step 5, enable the 'Will you provide a certificate?' toggle. Then select a certificate template from the thumbnail list – the preview updates instantly. The student name, course name, and completion date are filled automatically. Add a Course Coordinator name for the signature line. Leaving the toggle off means no certificate is issued, but students can still complete the course.
