Create your first course

Before you start, link to this section

• Open Agavien Studio. You can author locally without a website account.
• Choose a writable folder for your project. A short course with one or two chapters is a useful starting point.

Step by step, link to this section

1. On the home screen, choose New course, enter a Course title, and choose Create. Save the project when prompted.
2. In the course overview, add a description explaining what learners will be able to do.
3. Choose New chapter, give the chapter a descriptive title, and open it.
4. Choose Add block and select a Text element. Replace the sample text with your introduction. Add an image or knowledge check below it.
5. Open Preview → Preview full course. Work through the course as a learner, then close the preview to continue editing.
6. Use Export → Publish readiness before choosing an export format.

What to expect, link to this section

Your editable course is saved as an .agavien project. Preview shows the learner experience; an export produces a separate deliverable.

Tips & troubleshooting, link to this section

• If saving fails, check the destination folder and available disk space. Resolve any save error before closing the app.
• The editor calls content elements blocks in several menus. Add block opens the element picker.
• Start with one clear learning goal rather than adding every interaction at once.
