What is an online course on Edform?

An online course is a path through your own teaching materials. You make units — one per topic or week — and add the tests, worksheets, lessons, video lessons, AI materials and classroom screens you already have, plus your own text, links and files. Nothing is copied: the course points at your materials. Then you give it to a class or open a link that anyone can join with a code. Students see one Continue button that takes them to the next part, quizzes are graded automatically, and you see progress for every student and every part in one table.

How to build an online course

  1. 1

    Make units

    Open Courses, choose New course and add a unit for each topic or week. Rename, move or add a short note for students.

  2. 2

    Add your materials

    Pick tests, worksheets, lessons, videos and other materials from My library — several at once — or add text, a link or a file.

  3. 3

    Give it to students

    Choose Give to students: give it to a class, or turn on an open link with a code and QR code that anyone can join.

One clear path for students

Students open the course on any device and see a progress bar, every unit and one button to the next part. Quizzes and worksheets open in the normal player and count as done when they hand in.

  • Start or Continue to the next part
  • Mark readings, links and files as done
  • Units can unlock in order

See every student's progress

The progress table shows each student against each part of the course, grouped by unit: done, best score, started or waiting for your grading.

  • Percent done per student
  • Best score on every quiz
  • Open any homework report

Results land in your gradebook

Every quiz in a course is ordinary homework, so its results also appear in Results and in the class gradebook next to the rest of your work.

Everything a course needs

  • Units and parts

    Group your materials by topic or week, move parts between units and mark some as optional.

  • Students go in order

    Turn it on and a unit opens only when every part of the units before it is done.

  • Link, code and QR

    Share an open link with an 8-digit code: anyone with a name can join, or only students with an account.

  • Your own text, links and files

    Add a reading, a YouTube link that plays inside the course, or a PDF, picture or audio file.

  • Progress per student

    Started, average progress, finished and average score at the top; every student and part below.

  • Give to a whole class

    Class members see the course on their student home, and the class page shows its progress.

Frequently asked questions

What can I put in a course?

Tests, worksheets, lessons, video lessons, AI materials and classroom screens you made on Edform, plus your own text, links and files such as PDFs, pictures and audio.

Do students need an account?

Not with an open link set to anyone: students type a name and start. You can also allow only students with an account, or give the course to one of your classes.

If I change a quiz, does the course change too?

The course points at your materials, it doesn't copy them. A quiz is frozen for students the first time one of them opens it in the course, so their scores stay fair.

How do I see who has finished?

Open the course's progress page: every student, every part, percent done and best scores. Quiz columns open the full homework report.

Can students go through the course in order?

Yes. Turn on Students go in order and each unit unlocks only when the units before it are done. Optional parts don't block anyone.

Is it free?

Yes. Courses are on the free Basic plan. Only AI usage has limits: 5 AI points a month on Basic and 300 on Pro.
