= How to build an eCourse =
== Create a Book ==
To build your first eCourse you need two modules. The first is eCourse Management [[File:048.png]]. This will allow you to do all the building and security.
''Main Menu > eCourse Management > Book Management > Create a Book''
There are lots of options available but you only need to give your book a title. If you want to read more then try [[ECourse_Book_-_Edit]]
When you scroll to the bottom and click "Create Book" you'll be presented with a number of options, choose "Add a Chapter to this Book"

Now lets add a chapter to the book. All you have to do is to give the Chapter a name and then go down and click "Create Chapter".
If you want to find out more about the options available you can read more here [[ECourse_Chapter_-_Edit]]
On the complete page you can now choose "Add a Page to this Chapter"

== Create a Page ==
Last part is to create a page (the clear plastic folder). Just give the Page a title and scroll to the bottom and click "Create Page".
For more information on the other options available you can read more here [[ECouse_Page_-_Edit]]
You have now created a structure into which you can now start putting information. Choose "View the eCourse" to go to the Table of Contents of the Book.

If you click the [[File:ECourse-BookClosed.gif]] icon, your page will appear.
There are [[File:auth_add.png]] icons to the right of the books and chapter levels. A [[File:auth_add.png]] at a book level will quickly add a chapter. A [[File:auth_add.png]] at a chapter level will quickly add a page.
Every book you create will automatically be searchable in the eCourse Search at the bottom right of every page of bxp.
Firstly let's add some content to our page.
== Adding Content to a Page ==
Open up your Chapter and click the name of your Page. This should take you through to the Page.

At the bottom of the page you have the option to "Add Text to this Page" which allows you to add text / html immediately to the page.
You also have "Add Media to this Page" which allows you to upload materials such as PDF, Docs, PowerPoints, videos, anything.
