How to Add Content to Modules

Add videos, live sessions, quizzes, assignments, PDFs and embeds to a module — and control whether students get notified.


Modules are containers; content is what students actually watch, read and take. Add it from a course's Modules tab by clicking Add Content on any module row.

The Add Module Content dialog on the Video tab

The dialog is headed Add Module ContentAdd videos, quizzes, assignments, or PDFs to this course module. For PDFs, you can either upload files directly or provide URLs.

Six tabs across the top set what you are adding: Video, Live, Quiz, Assignment, PDF and Embed.


Announce to Students

One control sits at the bottom of every tab: the Announce to students checkbox — Posts a course announcement and sends a notification + push to students who can see this content.

It is ticked by default. Leave it on and every student on the course gets a notification the moment you save. If you are uploading a batch of ten videos, untick it for the first nine and leave it on the last, or your students get ten notifications in a row.


Adding a Video

The Video tab works in two numbered steps.

1 — Choose Video Source

Source Use it for
YouTube Paste a YouTube link — the usual choice
Upload File Upload from device — hosted by Course37
External URL Link to any video hosted elsewhere

2 — Video Details

For a YouTube video, paste the address into YouTube URL and click Import Info. As the tip says, this auto-fills the title, description and thumbnail so you do not have to type them.

Beneath that, set the Video Type and optionally attach a Live Session.

Quick fill from JSON (Optional) is a collapsed section at the top of the details. Expand it to paste structured data and populate the fields at once — useful when migrating a batch of videos.

Click Create Video to save.


Adding a Live Session

The Live tab schedules an online class. Choose your provider — YouTube Live, Google Meet, Zoom or built-in streaming — then set the title and start and end times.

Providers must be connected first under Integrations.

Adding a Quiz or Exam

The Quiz tab does not create an exam — it connects an existing one. Build the exam first, then use the classification filters here to find it and attach it to this module.

This is why the same exam can appear in several courses without being rebuilt.

Adding an Assignment

The Assignment tab creates work students submit. Set the title and instructions, attach any question files, and give it a due date and total marks.

Adding a PDF

The PDF tab either uploads a file directly or points at one by URL, as the dialog's own description says. You can also tag it to your curriculum so it appears under the right subject and chapter in the resource library.

Adding an Embed

The Embed tab places third-party content inside the module — a slide deck, an interactive exercise, anything with an embed code.


Bulk AI

Next to Add Content on every module row sits Bulk AI. Where Add Content adds one item at a time, Bulk AI generates several at once — far quicker when you are filling an empty module.


Troubleshooting

What you see What it means
Students received a notification you did not intend Announce to students is ticked by default. Untick it for bulk uploads
Import Info does not fill anything The YouTube link is wrong or the video is private. Check it opens in a browser
Your exam is not in the Quiz tab The tab only lists exams that already exist. Create it first, then connect it
A live provider is missing It is not connected yet — set it up under Integrations
Content saved but students cannot see it Check the course status is Active, not Draft or Archived
