Private courses

Private courses, within Courses Plus for Shopify, are tailored educational modules designed to provide exclusive access to curated knowledge. These courses offer a focused and personalized learning experience. Unlike public courses, private courses are available to a selected group of enrolled participants and prioritize a more customized educational journey. In this type of course, you manually invite students to participate. Private courses offer a controlled and personalized learning environment, where enrollment is restricted to specifically invited participants.

To create a private course, follow these steps:

Go to My Courses tab → click Create course

Select Manual setup option

Add the course title, description (you can add it later) and press Next

Select a Private course type → Press Create course

After creating the course, you’ll be able to add sections and lessons. To invite students, go to Add students and choose whether to paste a list of email addresses or upload a CSV file containing their email addresses (and names, if needed).
