Navigate to the course and go to the Outline section. You’ll see any existing topics listed here, or an empty state if this is a new course.
2
Add topics
Tap Add Topic to create a new top-level topic (e.g., “Chapter 1: Introduction to Algebra”).
Screenshot: Course outline editor with topics and subtopics
3
Add subtopics
Under each topic, add subtopics to break down the content further (e.g., “1.1 Variables and Expressions”, “1.2 Solving Linear Equations”).
4
Organize and save
Arrange topics in the order you plan to teach them. Save your outline when done. A confirmation appears, and the outline is now visible to enrolled students.
1. Introduction to Algebra 1.1 Variables and Expressions 1.2 Solving Linear Equations 1.3 Word Problems2. Polynomials 2.1 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials 2.2 Multiplying Polynomials 2.3 Factoring3. Quadratic Equations 3.1 The Quadratic Formula 3.2 Graphing Quadratics
A well-organized outline helps students know what to expect and study ahead.
Update it as the course progresses.
Students can view the outline in read-only mode from their course page. It helps
them follow along with the course progression and prepare for upcoming topics.
See Navigating Your Course (Student).
Edit — Update the time, day, or topic of an existing entry
Delete — Remove a schedule entry that’s no longer needed
Schedule entries are recurring by nature — once you set “Monday 9:00 AM -
10:00 AM”, it applies every week. Create separate entries for different
class days.
Schedule entries appear on students’ dashboards when they select the relevant
date. This helps students plan their day and know when to attend class. See
