Steps for Converting any Educational YouTube Playlist/Video into a Course:

1. Copy the YouTube Video/Playlist Link: Go to YouTube and open the video or playlist you want to convert into a course. Click on the Share button beneath the video and copy the URL or link to the playlist. Example:

3. The Course is Created: Once the video or playlist is converted, it will appear in your My Learnings section under a new course. The course will be automatically organized based on the videos in the playlist.
4. Take Notes: While watching the video, you can take notes. These notes will be saved along with the course, so you can refer back to them later. Notes will be timestamped for easy referencing.

​

Tracking Your Learning Progress:

1. Heatmap: As you progress through the course, your activity will be tracked in the Learning Activities Heatmap. This shows the days you were active, helping you stay on track with your learning.
2. Mark as Completed: After finishing all the video content, you can mark the course as complete. The system will calculate your progress, and if you’ve completed at least 80% of the content, it will unlock the Assessment section.

​

​

• Video Accessibility: Ensure the videos are accessible for viewing without restrictions (e.g., age-restricted content may not be supported).

​

Troubleshooting:

• No Assessment Available?
  • If the assessment is not available, ensure that you have completed at least 80% of the course content. Only after reaching 80% will the assessment be unlocked.
• Error Loading Content:
  • If you encounter any issues loading the YouTube video or playlist, verify that the URL is correct. If the issue persists, try using a different YouTube link or check the video’s availability.
