Once you have created and saved your course table of contents (TOC) in the Course Builder, you may make any necessary adjustments from the Edit Lesson Settings page. The Edit Lesson Settings page can be accessed from two locations within C4EBridge:

• Within the Course Builder (TOC): From the Course Builder window, hover over any lesson title to access the right-hand tool icons and select OPEN LESSON SETTINGS:

  

• From the Course Summary page (COURSES > MY COURSES > VIEW COURSE SUMMARY): From the Course Summary page, select the lesson you wish to edit, then click EDIT LESSON SETTINGS (top left corner):

  

From the Edit Lesson Settings window, you can then adjust and modify your lesson as needed!

You can tailor your display on the Edit Lesson Settings window using the SCREEN OPTIONS pane (top right corner). When expanded, this pane allows you to hide/display specific boxes (or panels), choose from a 1 column or 2 column layout, and enable the FULL-HEIGHT EDITOR AND DISTRACTION-FREE FUNCTIONALITY option. Any modifications made in the SCREEN OPTIONS panel will then reflect in the windows below. Once your changes are complete, collapse the pop-up by selecting SCREEN OPTIONS again:

By default, the Edit Lesson Settings screen features the following right-side panels: Publish, Course Builder, and Featured Image. The center of the page also contains the Lesson Settings, Revisions, and Author panels. These panels can be easily collapsed or expanded, depending on your preferences:

• To collapse an expanded panel, select the upward facing arrow:

  

• To expand a minimized panel, select the downward facing arrow:

  

Panels can also be easily reordered per your preference! To move a panel, hover over the top of the panel until you see the cursor MOVE icon (4-headed arrow) appear, then click and drag the panel to its new location:

From the Publish panel, you can view the lesson status, visibility, and published on date information, and select to move to trash, update, or preview any changes. The Publish panel also offers the following options:

• STATUS: Published is selected by default. You may adjust the status by clicking EDIT and selecting a new status. If your lesson requires additional review before publishing, select PENDING REVIEW from the STATUS dropdown, then click OK (or click CANCEL to close without saving your change):

  

• VISIBILITY: Edit your visibility to PUBLIC, PASSWORD PROTECTED, or PRIVATE by clicking EDIT and selecting a new visibility status. By default, your visibility is set to Public but can be modified to Private or Password protected. To enable a password, select PASSWORD PROTECTED, enter a password, and click OK (or click CANCEL to close without saving your change):

  

• REVISIONS: Access any previous lesson revisions by clicking BROWSE. You will be redirected to the REVISIONS screen, where you can: access a previous version of your lesson using the slider tool and PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons, compare version details, and restore previous versions:

  

• PUBLISHED ON: To change the date on which this lesson should be published, select EDIT and modify the date/time fields:

  

• UPDATE: Once your changes to this lesson are complete, ensure you select the UPDATE button to save:

  

• PREVIEW CHANGES: Use this option to preview the changes you just made.
• MOVE TO TRASH: To discard this lesson and move your course to trash, select MOVE TO TRASH

Lessons cannot be individually deleted. Moving a lesson to trash will move your entire course to trash. If your course is deleted by accident, you may restore it from the Edit Course Settings page.

The Course Builder panel displays which course, section, and lesson you are in, and allows you to easily navigate to other sections/lessons directly from this panel. To open the Course Builder (TOC) and add new sections/lessons, select the LAUNCH COURSE TOC.

The featured image panel allows you to select a thumbnail image to be displayed at the top of the lesson page.

To set a featured image, select SET LISTED IMAGE (or REMOVE LISTED IMAGE, if you already have an existing featured image) to open your image assets library, then select your desired image:

Your selected image will be added to the top of the lesson page in its original size (we typically recommend uploading image assets featuring a width of 300 pixels x height of 190 pixels).

The Lesson Settings panel has a number of tabs helping you customize your lessons further! These tabs are as follows: General, Prerequisites, Drip Settings, Quiz, and Manage xAPI.

GENERAL TAB: The General tab allows you to:

• • Embed a video file at the top of the lesson page by entering the URL of a Wistia, Vimeo, YouTube, or hosted video file in the VIDEO EMBED URL field.
  • Embed an audio file in your lesson page by entering a SoundCloud or Spotify URL in the AUDIO EMBED URL field.
  • Make this lesson a free lesson by toggling the FREE LESSON option to allow non-registered visitors to view the lesson without registering for the course.

PREREQUISITES TAB: This tab lets you set prerequisites for your lesson.

• Toggle ENABLE PREREQUISITES on, then select the lesson you’d like to have learners complete prior to accessing your current lesson.
• You can use the dropdown menu to browse through all available lessons, or type in the search field to search for a specific lesson.
• To set a course as a perquisite for this lesson, you can select the last lesson of the desired course as the prerequisite.

DRIP SETTINGS TAB: The Drip Settings option allows you to ‘drip’ content over time, making lessons accessible to learners during specific time frames.

• Using this tab, you can make this lesson available after a set amount of time has passed after enrollment (AFTER COURSE ENROLLMENT option) or on a specific date/time (ON A SPECIFIC DATE option).
• By default, drip is set to none. To enable, simply select the Drip Settings tab, select your preferred drip method (AFTER COURSE ENROLLMENT or ON A SPECIFIC DATE), and then set your preferred date/time frame.

QUIZ TAB: The Quiz tab allows you to require a passing grade for the quiz in this lesson, requiring students to receive a passing score on the quiz before they can complete the lesson. (The passing percentage for this quiz can be defined in the Quiz Editor.)

MANAGE xAPI TAB: If this lesson contains an xAPI package, this tab allows you to record xAPI data (to record such user data as course completion, quiz results, and more), assign a competency to the lesson, and enter a name for the verb or select an ADL verb URL to track specific words or phrases.

As you make changes to your lesson, be sure to periodically save your progress by clicking UPDATE on the Publish panel in the Edit Lesson Settings window.

To learn more about xAPI packages, visit the XAPI section. To learn more about adding and managing competencies, visit the Competency section.

The Revisions panel allows you to easily track and determine when this lesson was previously changed or updated. This panel lists each recorded revision, along with the user who made the change and the date of the change.

Clicking on any revision navigates you to the Revisions screen, where you can: access a previous version of your lesson using the slider tool and Previous and Next buttons, compare version details, and restore previous versions:

In the Edit lesson settings window, select the UPDATE button and then, if desired, PREVIEW CHANGES button from the Publish panel.

If you select PREVIEW CHANGES it will open the Lesson Editor window, allowing you to preview your lesson and determine whether any changes are necessary. To make any changes to your lesson layout (i.e., moving your added images or text boxes, adjusting column settings, duplicating images or text, etc.), click LESSON EDITOR to access EDIT mode. Otherwise, you can select EDIT LESSON SETTINGS to return to the settings page for this lesson, or select EDIT TOC to launch the Course Builder (TOC) window:

To learn more about EDIT MODE in the Lesson Editor, visit the Lesson Editor section.

Finally, to begin adding content to your course, select the LAUNCH LESSON EDITOR button:
