Coassemble's new collections feature streamlines course management by allowing users to group multiple courses together into thematic collections, streamlining the creation of learning pathways. This simplifies the creation of learning pathways and the sharing of related content.

Select 'Collections' from the lefthand side of your screen.

You will then be taken into the new collection. From here, you can name your collection, add an image and short description, customize the appearance, and add your courses.

We'll first walk you through adding your courses, but you can read more about customizing the appearance of your collection below.

You will now need to add the Courses you have already created to your new collection. Select 'Add courses' and this will open a modal showing all the courses that currently exist in your Workspace.

Select the checkboxes alongside the courses you wish to add to your collection. You can 'Select all' at the top of the modal to indicate all courses.

Once you are happy with your selection of courses, you will need to select 'Add to collection' to confirm your choice. You will then see the course cards of all your courses within your new collection.

Similar to course themes, collections also have a theme. If you'd like to change your collection theme:

From within your collection, select 'Design' at the top of the screen.

Adjust the colors and fonts of your collection. If you are on the Business plan, you can add a Logo to appear at the bottom of your collection.

Once you have adjusted the theme of your collection, select 'Save changes'.

You can add an image above your collection title. This is a great way to thematically connect your courses. Click on the placeholder icon and you can choose to upload an image, select from your image library, or choose an image or GIF from Unsplash or Giphy.

The course counter is displayed beneath your collection title. If you’d like to change the word “Courses” to something else (like Modules or Topics), simply click on it and enter your preferred term. You can also adjust the position of the number, choosing to place it either to the left or right of the word.

The navigation bar refers to this bar that indicates their progress. Your viewers will use the collection navigation to start and resume courses when they enter the collection. You can edit the text that will appear on the button for New users (users who are entering the collection for the first time) and for Returning users (users who have already started working on the collection).

You can easily change the order of your courses in your collection at any time by selecting the Reorder button to the right. You can also reorder the courses by clicking and dragging them into an alternative sequence.

You can choose to have a grid or list layout. You'll find this option under 'Layout' at the top of your collection above your collection title. It's important to note that if you choose grid view, the layout will default back to list view when the collection is accessed on a mobile device as this is a better user experience.

If you would like to hide the course counter, description or navigation bar, select Display options (the eye icon) to toggle these on or off.

Similarly to previewing your courses, you can preview your collection to see how it will appear to your learners across multiple devices.

In the top right corner of your screen, toggle 'Preview' on to enter the Preview mode.

Choose the device you would like to preview your collection on. You can see how your collection will appear on a desktop, tablet or smartphone.

To exit Preview mode, toggle 'Preview' off. This will return you to the builder.

To swap or delete a course from your collection, follow these steps:

If you choose to replace your course, you'll be shown a modal that will allow you to select the replacement course. If you choose to remove the course, it will be instantly removed from your collection.

If you delete a course from the courses dashboard, it will also be removed from the collection.

Share methods are identical to sharing a course. Note: Payment links aren't currently available for collections.

To share your collection, navigate to 'Share' at the top of your collection. You can also share your collection from the Collection dashboard by selecting the three dots and selecting 'Share'.

You will then be presented with options similar to sharing a course. Choose whether anyone with the link can view the collection, only people you add, or no one (this disables the link to the collection).

To copy the share link, select 'Copy link'. If you would like to embed the collection on a website or other platform, select 'Get embed code'.

Once you’ve copied the share link or embed code, paste it wherever you want to share your Collection. You can send the link via email, post it on a website, or embed it directly into another platform to make it easily accessible to your audience.

If you'd like to create a clear learning pathway, select 'Enforce order' at the top of the screen and turn the toggle on. This means that viewers can't proceed through the courses unless the prior course is complete.

Insights for collections work the same way as course insights, but you can now drill down into each course within a collection. If a course is taken inside a collection, its insights won’t appear in the standalone course insights on the course dashboard.

Navigate to 'Collections' from the lefthand side of your Workspace.

Click the three dots on the right of the collection you'd like to view insights for.

To explore the individual usage, click on each course viewer. You can then expand on their progress and time spent for each course and each screen within the individual courses.

You can download a .csv of this data to store offline if needed. Click the download button on the insights pane to download the data for the Collection across the selected date range in .csv format.

While all users can create collections, sharing them is exclusively available to Business plan subscribers. Notably, collections will not be accessible through the Headless API.
