How to Use Course Creator Studio

A short, practical tour of Course Creator Studio: build a course, make it yours, share it with learners, and keep your work safe.

Getting started

1
First, unzip the download
Your course arrives as a ZIP file. On Windows, right-click it and choose Extract All. On a Mac, double-click it. Then open the new folder and open this Start Here page from there.
Important: the course won’t open from inside the ZIP. If the button below doesn’t work, you probably haven’t unzipped it yet.
2
Open the course
Once it’s unzipped, click the button. The course opens in your web browser — there is no account, login or app to install.
Open the course
Or open the file 02-how-to-use-course-creator-studio.html next to this page.
3
Keep the two files together
Leave this page and the course file in the same folder, and don’t rename them. To come back later, open the same course file again.
4
Back up your progress now and then
Inside the course, Back up progress saves a small file with your progress, notes and bookmarks. Use Restore progress to bring them back on another browser or computer.

Works offline. The course opens without an internet connection.

How to use the course

Start on the course home page and choose Start learning.
Mark complete at the end of each lesson. Your progress bar and ticks update as you go.
Use Next lesson at the bottom of each page to go through the course in order, or pick any lesson from the list.
Write in the notes boxes and My notes. They save automatically in your browser.
Use Bookmark to keep lessons you want to come back to.
Use Search on the course home page to find a topic.
When you finish every lesson, choose Get your certificate to print it or save it as a PDF.
Use Send my progress to my instructor to share how you’re getting on. You choose what to include, and nothing is sent until you send it.
Use ← Course dashboard to go back to the course home page at any time.

Computer, phone or tablet?

Best on a computer (Windows or Mac) using Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.

iPhone and iPad: save the ZIP to the Files app, tap it to unzip, then tap the course file. Some versions open it as a preview, which may not keep your progress or let you use every feature. If that happens, use a computer.

Android: unzip it with the Files app, then open the course file with Chrome. Results can vary by device.

What saves — and what doesn’t

Saves automatically: completed lessons, quiz answers, bookmarks and notes. They are kept privately in the browser you use, on this device.
Doesn’t move by itself: to another browser (for example Chrome to Safari), another computer, or a fresh copy of the course file. Use Back up progress and Restore progress to move it.
Can be lost: if you clear your browser’s history or site data, use a private or incognito window, or use very strict privacy settings. Back up first.
If the page looks blank or broken: try another up-to-date browser, and check that an extension or privacy tool isn’t blocking it.
