Academy basics
With online academies, you can bring all your eLearning content together to create a streamlined platform for both students and instructors.
In this article, we will talk about what an academy is and how to create it using SendPulse.
What is an academy?
An academy is a workspace where instructors can create and manage courses, invite students, and add other instructors.
Students can see the names and logos that academies use. You can customize student accounts in your academy across all courses. On top of that, you can also create course landing pages and edit them using the builder to add relevant content. All created courses will be hosted on your academy domain.
Your selected pricing plan determines the number of academies you can create. If you downgrade your pricing plan, you will need to choose the academies you want to keep.
How to create an academy
Go to the Courses section and click Create academy.
Customize settings
Select an academy type based on your target audience (external audience or your company).
| New academy | Regular academies where you can create online courses and use website templates. |
| New LMS academy | Corporate training academies where you can create courses for your team and use login landing page templates. |
Fill in the following fields:
| Academy name | Enter your academy name. To rename your academy, click the pencil icon next to its current name, or go to your settings, where you can also adjust how your academy name appears to students. |
| Academy URL |
Enter a unique link and add the domain that will be assigned to all courses by your academy. You can use a standard SendPulse domain or add a custom domain. |
Click Next.
