Can I build a course manually instead of using AI?

Absolutely. Select the manual creation option to build your course step-by-step. You'll define the structure, create lessons and sections, upload multimedia, and add assessments. This is ideal if you want full creative and instructional control from the ground up.

Coursebox allows Learning Designers, Creators, and Administrators to build a course from scratch using the manual course creation option. This gives you full control over the structure, content, and layout from the very beginning.

The steps are:

  • Click Create Course on the left hand side navigation

Create Course button on the left navigation
  • When this page appears select Create a course manually

Create a course manually option

Write the course title and describe your course

During course setup, you'll be asked to provide a course title and description that explains the purpose of the course and what learners will gain from it.

Write a clear, concise description that outlines:

  • What the course is about

  • Who it's for

  • The key skills or outcomes learners can expect

This helps learners quickly understand the course's value, context, and relevance.

Once you've entered your description, click Next to continue.

Example:

"This course teaches learners how to create, build, and sell online courses using Coursebox AI. By the end of the course, learners will be able to generate course content, add interactive elements, and publish their course with confidence.

The Skills and Knowledge section allows you to tag your course with key terms that reflect the learning outcomes. These tags help learners, administrators, and systems identify the focus areas of your course and improve discoverability.

To create sections and pages manually, use the left menu:
