How do I start a course from a template?

In Course settings › Advanced › Templates, pick a Template source, type a Title for the new course and choose New from template.

A template is a course you reuse as the starting point for new ones: its slides, structure and theme. Xogogy includes the Accessible Starter Course, and you can save any course of your own as a template.

Create a course from a template

  1. #

    Open any course, choose Course settings in the header and select Advanced.

  2. #

    Find Templates and, under New from template, choose a Template source. The built-in Accessible Starter Course is always in the list.

  3. #

    To use a template file someone sent you, choose Load template file… and pick the .cstemplate.json file. It is added to the Template source list.

  4. #

    Type a Title for the new course, or leave it empty to keep the template's own title.

  5. #

    Choose New from template. Xogogy creates a new course with fresh ids, so it never clashes with the course the template came from.

Save a course as a template

  1. #

    Open the course you want to reuse and go to Course settings › Advanced › Templates.

  2. #

    Under Save as template, type a Template name and, if you like, a Template description (optional).

  3. #

    Choose Save as template. Xogogy writes a .cstemplate.json file you can keep or share.

Tip: A template leaves out learner tracking and edit history, and saving one never changes the course you are working on.
