Your Guide to Creating Courses on Clava
This article provides a step-by-step guide on building courses using Clava, a platform designed for creating multi-week learning journeys.
What Makes Clava Courses Different?
Structured Courses: Unlike traditional classes, Clava courses are multi-week programs with a defined start and end date, encouraging participants to commit to the entire experience.
Member-Centric: Members typically book the entire course at once, streamlining the registration process.
Benefits of Using Clava Courses:
Flexible Access: Offer the course as a complete package or allow individual class bookings.
