Add a "How to Navigate This Course" lesson to your welcome module
Here is a welcome lesson we created for one of our courses. Please feel free to use or adapt any of this text for your own course!
Here are a few quick tips about how to navigate the platform:
- If it's your first time on this platform, you're welcome to watch this introductory video to orient yourself around how the Ruzuku platform works.
- First, upload a profile photo and add a short bio on your Account.
It makes it more fun to interact with everyone when we can see your face and know a little something about you.
And don't forget to check that your local time zone is correct, so that lesson notices reach you at the correct time! - Meetings scheduled for this course can be found by clicking "Meetings" in the menu on the left side of the course page (the menu opens by clicking the 3 lines at the top left corner of this page if you're on a mobile device).
You can join the live meetings by clicking on that menu link and then on the scheduled event.
If you aren't able to attend the live event, you can access the recording through that same link. - Each week you'll get access to a new module (shown by clicking "Modules" in the menu on the left side of the course page).
Each module contains a series of lessons to complete and check-off.
When you have completed a lesson, click the "mark as complete" button at the bottom of the page to navigate to the next lesson.
This is how I will be able to monitor your progress in the course.
→ Try that now by marking this lesson as complete (click the Mark As Complete button below) once you're done reading!
- Be sure to add notifications@courses.ruzuku.com to your email contacts so that the module notifications can be delivered to your inbox. (Check your spam folder if you don't see the notifications in your inbox.)
- Please bookmark https://courses.ruzuku.com in your browser.
Although you'll receive course emails with a link to bring you back here, you can also simply use that bookmark to access this course (and any other course you're enrolled in). - You can review and change the email notifications you receive for your course by clicking "Preferences" in the menu on the left side of the course page (the menu opens by clicking the 3 lines at the top left corner of this page if you're on a mobile device).
Need help navigating the course, or having trouble receiving email notifications? Just click the menu at the top-right of the page (where your initials or photo is located) and click "Support" to browse through the categories and articles. If you can't find the answer there, email Ruzuku Support directly at support@ruzuku.com.
You're also welcome to embed this orientation video into your lesson (it helps orient your students to the platform):
