Adding Modules to a Course on Your Website
To create modules in Thrive Apprentice, please ensure you’ve created a course using Thrive Apprentice.
To open a course in Thrive Apprentice, first open your WordPress admin area, navigate to Thrive Dashboard >> Thrive Apprentice, and in the left panel click on Courses.
On the Courses page, click on the Course you want to add the module to.
On the individual course page, click to open the Content tab.
Under the Content tab, click on +Add Module to add a new module.
The other way you can do this is, click on the + icon on the right.
Clicking the plus icon, you’ll see a popup where you select the content type. On this popup, click Add Module.
After you click to add a module you’ll see a notice mentioning that the present lessons and chapters inside the course will be added to the module.
Note: This notice is only seen when you already have a lesson/lessons, chapter/chapters in the course.
To proceed, click the Continue button.
When you agree to add the lesson/lessons to the chapter, in the next step, enter the Module name and click the Save button.
Clicking the button will close the popup and you’ll see the module added in the course with the lesson or the chapter moved inside it.
Adding New Lessons or Chapters to a Module
You can see an option to add a lesson or chapter to a module depending on the content present inside the module.
For example, when the module contains a chapter with a lesson within, you’ll see an option to add a new chapter inside which you can add a lesson.
Also, if the module has only lessons that are not included inside chapters, you’ll see options to add a lesson, chapter or assessment directly inside the module.
Clicking on Add Lesson will open a popup where you have to enter the Lesson name, type and more as listed in this section here.
Similarly, this document here will help you create a chapter in Thrive Apprentice.
