What Is Course Content?

Course content includes all instructional materials your users will consume as they progress through your lessons. In CustomerHub, this content is uploaded or embedded into pages (lessons) or sections (modules) within your Standard Product.

Content may include videos, written instructions, worksheets, audio files, quizzes, or external resources.


Why Preparing Content Matters

Preparing your course content up front helps you:

  • Build faster once you begin creating your course inside CustomerHub

  • Maintain a clear and consistent learning experience

  • Reduce interruptions during the build process

  • Ensure each lesson delivers on the course’s promise

  • Keep users engaged with well-structured materials

Good content planning leads directly to a smoother course launch.


Types of Content You May Need

Your course may include:

  • Lesson videos

  • Text-based instruction

  • PDF worksheets or downloads

  • Audio lessons or guided practices

  • Links to external tools or references

  • Screenshots, images, or diagrams

  • Practice exercises or assignments

Choose the formats that best support your teaching style and learning goals.


How to Collect or Create Your Course Content

  1. Review your mapped course structure
    Use the outline from Article #2 to determine what content is needed.

  2. List each piece of content required for every lesson
    This ensures nothing is missed.

  3. Gather existing content (if any)
    Import any videos, PDFs, or materials you've already created.

  4. Draft or record missing content
    Create only what you need—avoid overproduction.

  5. Organize your content in folders
    Group content by module or lesson to streamline the upload process.

  6. Prepare your media files in optimized formats
    Ensure video/audio files are sized appropriately for web playback.

  7. Optional: Create supplemental resources
    Things like checklists, templates, or cheat sheets can boost engagement.


Best Practices

  • Keep lesson content short and focused

  • Record videos in batches to save time

  • Use clear visuals and step-by-step explanations

  • Provide downloads only when necessary

  • Avoid overwhelming users with too many attachments

  • Match content type to the lesson’s purpose (demo, explanation, exercise, etc.)

  • Store backup copies of all media files
