Create Student Learning Modules in CampusESP

Learn to create modules, units, and quizzes in CampusESP, so students can complete required training and track their progress.

Updated today

CampusESP learning modules help you guide students through key requirements—like alcohol awareness, Student Conduct, and Title IX—in one organized experience. In this article, you’ll learn how to set up a module, add units (courses), include videos and text, build quizzes, and get ready to enroll students.


Before you start

To follow these steps, you’ll need access to the Content area in your CampusESP admin portal and permission to create learning modules.

NOTE: Your CampusESP team will work with you to confirm enrollment and audience settings before you launch anything to students.


Create a new learning module

  1. From the admin area, navigate to the Content area.

  2. In the left menu, click Learning Modules to open the All Learning Modules page.

  3. Click the Add Module button in the upper-right to add a new module. If you haven't created a module before, you'll see the Add Learning Module button in the main area of the page.

  4. In Module title, enter a clear, broad name for the module.

  5. In the Description, explain:

    • What students will complete (e.g., alcohol awareness, Student Conduct, Title IX)

    • Why it matters (e.g., creating a safe campus environment)

    • Any expectations or completion requirements

💡 Pro Tip: Use student-friendly language here! This description is often the first thing they read before starting their courses.

Add a header image and completion community

  1. Under the module details, upload a header image. Our recommended image size is 1200x400px (3:1 ratio). An image description will be generated automatically by AI.

  2. In the When complete, join communities field, choose the community students will join once they finish the module.

You can use this completion community to:

  • Send follow-up messages or drip posts

  • Track who has finished the module

  • Share next steps or additional resources

💡 Pro Tip: A dedicated “Modules completed” community makes it easier to communicate with students who have finished all required trainings.

Choose who can see the module

  1. Use the Select Your Audience area on the right to select the student audiences that should see this module. The module will only be visible to users who match your chosen targeting criteria, such as community membership, user role, or organization. Learn more about dynamic user targeting in CampusESP.

  2. Click the Create Module button to add the module.

NOTE: Don’t worry about getting audiences perfect on your first pass. Your CampusESP team will review and help you confirm these settings before launch.

Add units to your module

Units are the individual courses within your module—like Student Code of Conduct, Title IX, or Alcohol Awareness.

  1. From your new module, click into the module details.

  2. Click Add unit.

  3. Enter a Unit title. (e.g., "Student Code of Conduct")

  4. (Optional) Add an Estimated time to complete (e.g., “10 minutes”).

  5. In the Description, explain the focus of this unit (e.g., campus expectations, policies, and behavior)

  6. Select the target audience for this unit. You can create units tailored to:

    • Transfer students

    • First-year students

    • Students living on campus

    • Students living off campus

  7. Click Create Unit.

💡 Pro-Tip: Use separate units for different student groups so each audience only sees content that’s relevant to them.

Add content to a unit

Each unit can include multiple content sections like videos, text, and images.

  1. From your unit page, open the Content or Sections dropdown/menu.

  2. Select Add Content.

  3. Choose your first Content type, for example:

    • Video

    • Text

    • Image

  4. If adding a video:

    • Paste your YouTube video or Vimeo link

    • Add a short description above or below the video to explain what students should focus on.

  5. If adding text:

    • Use this section to share written criteria, policy language, or key definitions.

    • Break long paragraphs into shorter sections to keep students engaged.

  6. Click Create Section to add the content to your unit.

💡 Pro Tip: Pair short videos with a brief text summary or key takeaways underneath. This helps students who prefer to skim or revisit the material later.

Add a quiz to check understanding

Quizzes help you confirm students have engaged with your content and understand core concepts.

Create your first quiz question

  1. Within the unit, choose Add Quiz

  2. In the Question field, enter the question students will answer after reviewing the content.

  3. (Optional) Add additional instructions (e.g., “Watch the Code of Conduct video before answering.”).

  4. Click Create section (or Save) to start building the question.

  5. Add your answer choices (A, B, C, etc.) in the answer fields.

  6. Mark the correct answer:

  7. Click Update section or Save.

NOTE: Always double-check that the correct answer is selected before saving your quiz. This ensures reporting and completion data are accurate.

Add additional quiz questions

  1. Return to Units or the unit content list.

  2. Select Add to quiz or add another Quiz section.

  3. Enter your new Question (e.g., Question 2).

  4. Choose the Question type (e.g., Single choice).

  5. Add your answer choices.

  6. Mark the correct choice (for example, A) in the UI.

  7. Click Update section or Save.

Repeat these steps to add as many questions as you need. Once saved, you’ll see all quiz questions listed under the unit’s content sections.

Review unit and module settings

  1. From the Units view, confirm:

    • Each unit has a clear title and description

    • All required content (videos, text, images) is visible

    • Quiz questions are present and correct answers are selected

  2. Click into Settings (module or unit settings) to:

    • Reconfirm audiences

    • Adjust any access or visibility rules

    • Make any necessary edits before launch

NOTE: Your CampusESP team will partner with you to review and finalize these settings before students are enrolled.

Create additional units for your module

Repeat the unit creation process for each course you want in the module. Examples of units you might create include:

  • Title IX

  • Alcohol awareness

  • Student Conduct refresher

  • Campus resources and support

For each new unit:

  1. Click Add unit from the Units tab.

  2. Add a title, description, and (optional) estimated time.

  3. Add content (videos, text, images).

  4. Add a quiz, if desired.

  5. Save and review your settings.

This structure gives students a clear, guided path through all required trainings in one module.

Enroll students (with support from CampusESP)

Once your module and units are set up:

  1. Confirm that module and unit settings and audiences look correct.

  2. Connect with your CampusESP team to:

    • Validate your configuration

    • Set up or confirm student enrollment into the module

    • Plan your launch timeline and communications

NOTE: You’ll focus primarily on building modules and units. Your CampusESP team will support you with student enrollment and final configuration so you can launch confidently.
