Learn how to create a course in Breaze.
1. On the Front Page, click the Lessons button on the Main Section folder.
2. Put yourself in Edit Mode by clicking the Menu at the top right and toggle Edit Mode.
3. Under Sections, click the plus sign and select Create New Section.
(Scroll down to see explanations of each "new section" option.)
Create New Section - Inserts an empty blank section, containing no pages.
Make Copy with New Page ID's - When selected, you'll be asked to select from a list of existing Sections, which one you'd like to make a copy of. You may have to click the down arrows to find the Section you need, as it may be buried within another Section. This will make a copy of the Section you selected, and any changes that you make within this new Section will NOT affect the original. However, this will carry over any Tracking ID's and Interactive ID's and recommend changing them to something new and unique to the Section.
Make Copy with Duplicate Pages - When selected, you'll be asked to select from a list of existing Sections, which one you'd like to make a duplicate of. You may have to click the down arrows to find the Section you need; it may be buried within another Section. This will make a duplicate of the section you selected, and any changes that you make to this new page will affect the original as well, including Tracking ID's and Interactive ID's
4. An Unnamed Section will be added to the bottom of the section area.
Section Settings
Click the newly created section to open the Section Settings.
From the Menu (see below image), you can edit your Course Title and Description, Topic, Assign Groups, Lock the course down, as well as assign your course an Image. (Scroll down to review definitions.)
Alternatively, you can delete your course and build another one if you’d like.
Once you’ve filled in everything you want to, click Publish to Save your changes.
Section Title: This is where you enter the section/course title.
Section Description: This is where you want to describe the section/course.
Topic Title: You can organize your sections/courses using topics. Example: Use the word "marketing" as a topic title for all your marketing courses and they'll show up together on the homepage, in one area titled marketing.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you want a certain course to be featured at the top of the Breaze homepage type the word "Feature" in the topic area.
Section URL Identifier: This is where you can control the wording within the URL. In the example below the section identifier is "FM_Guidebook."
Example: https://breaze.icomproductions.ca/includes/modules/FM_Guidebook
MAKE SURE TO PUBLISH YOUR CHANGES REGULARILY
How to Assign an Image (Thumbnail)
1. While on a section/course page, open the admin menu by clicking the three horizontal lines in the top right of the screen.
2. From the Menu, click Assign Image. A popup window will appear and ask you to either upload or select an image. Upload an image by browsing your computer or select an image from the image library. Then, highlight the image you would like as your thumbnail and click 'Assign Image" in the lower right of the browser window. See the second image directly below.
IMPORTANT: Depending on your theme, images may need to fit the square image frame. We recommend an image size of 300 x 300 pixels.
How to Assign Groups
This is where you will give a group access to the section/course. Please note that your Breaze setup will look different than what is pictured below.
From the homepage, you want to look for a section/course titled MAIN SECTION. Click this box just once. This will open an option to select Details. (See the second image directly below.)
You will now see a list of all the categories/courses within your Breaze LMS. Left click the section/course that you want to assign groups to.
In the example below we're editing the category/course "Breaze Demo."
Now that you have your category/course selected, open the admin menu by clicking the three horizontal lines in the top right of the screen.
With the admin menu now open, turn on Edit Mode.
Scroll down within the admin menu and click "Assign Groups."
A new window will open where you will see a list of the groups that have been created within your Breaze LMS.
Place a checkmark next to the group(s) that you want to access the section/course. You might need to scroll through several pages depending on the number of groups.
To save changes, simply click the Close option in the lower right of the browser window.
