How do courses work?

Every course is split into chapters, and each chapter has a few lessons. Some chapters also end with a quiz to check what you've learned or a project to put it into practice.

Moving through a course

  • The course page shows every chapter. Open one to see its lessons, and press Continue learning to return to your place.
  • In a lesson, the sidebar shows where you are in the chapter. On a phone, use the toolbar at the bottom instead (see Learning on your phone).
  • At the end of each lesson, press Next to move on. That also marks the lesson complete. A quiz counts as complete once you see your results.

Your course page shows how many lessons you've completed, and the outline marks each finished lesson with a check.

Courses marked "Coming soon"

Some courses are still being written. You can open them, but they aren't listed in the Library yet and don't come with a certificate.
