Creating Your First Chapter

Once you’ve created a course, the next step is to build its learning plan.
The first step in creating a learning plan is to add a chapter.

---

Getting Started

When you open a new course, you will see a blank learning plan (as shown in the screenshot below).
To begin, click on the + New Chapter button.

---

Adding a Chapter

1. After clicking + New Chapter, you will be prompted to enter a chapter name.
2. Choose a name that best describes the theme or set of lessons you plan to include in the chapter (e.g Greetings & Introduction).
3. Click Add Chapter to confirm.

⚠️ Note: Once confirmed, the chapter name cannot be changed. Make sure to choose carefully.

Chapter Controls

After creating a chapter, the first thing you will see are the chapter controls.
These controls allow you to manage and organize your chapters effectively.

Available Controls

1. Adjust Release Date – Set or update the date when the chapter becomes available to students.

   • To change the release date, click on the date field and select your desired date from the calendar.

2. Reorder Chapters – Change the position of the chapter within the learning plan.

   • If you have two or more chapters, you can adjust their order.
   • Click on the arrow icons on the right side of the chapter to move it up or down.
     
3. Delete Chapter – Remove a chapter completely if it is no longer needed.
   • Click on the Delete button to remove the chapter.
   • ⚠️ Note: This action is irreversible — all lessons within the chapter will also be permanently deleted.
4. Add Lesson – Manually add any of EasyConvo’s practice room types.
   • Click Add Lesson to open the lesson creation page.
   • Choose a lesson type: Echo, Node, or Wisp.
   • For step-by-step guides, see:
     • Echo Lesson
     • Node Lesson
     • Wisp Lesson
5. Upload File – Upload a PDF to quickly generate sample Echo, Node, and Wisp lesson ideas.
   • EasyConvo allows you to upload your existing lesson materials in PDF format to help you quickly brainstorm and structure lessons.
   • The system will analyze your document and automatically generate sample Echo, Node, and Wisp questions.
   • This provides a starting point for designing lessons, saving you time in planning.
   • Once the sample questions are generated, you can customize them further, edit the content, or add new questions to match your teaching objectives.
   • ⚠️ Note: The uploaded PDF is not stored in the system — it is used only to generate sample content.
     

Important Notes

• ⚠️ Avoid Mass Creation: Do not create your entire learning plan in one go.
• Creating too many chapters at once may overload the server.
• This could risk losing your progress.
• ✅ Recommended: Create one or two chapters at a time.
• 🚫 Do Not Refresh: While the curriculum is saving, do not refresh or close the page. Doing so may interrupt the process and cause data loss.
