Course layout page Vs. Course player
The Course layout page is the "welcome" page of your course. Users can find more information about the course, check the contents (according to the contents sections you have added), and also enroll. If the course were a book, the layout page would be the book cover.
The Course player is the "classroom" where the course takes place. As soon as a user enrolls in the course, the course content (learning activities you have created) appears in the course player.
Once you create the course, add the content, and set up your preferences, you are ready to start selling it. However, what about some more useful tips? Check out the following links:
