# Customization

Courses on Skolarships can be customized to the creators preference.

Everyone has their own style of teaching. Giving customization options makes the teaching and learning experience more fun. Think about the classes you took in school with a fun teacher vs a boring teacher. Who's information did you retain the most?

<summary><strong>Course Creation &#x26; Management</strong></summary>

* **Integrated Community & Learning Management**

Skolarships combines community engagement with course management. Creators can design courses that are embedded directly within the community, fostering interaction and discussion around the course content.

* **Content Delivery**

Courses are structured into modules and lessons, which can include video lectures, reading materials, quizzes, and assignments.

* **Gamification & Engagement**

Skolarships incorporates gamification elements like points, badges, and leaderboards to enhance user engagement and motivation.

* **Analytics**

Detailed analytics allow creators to track learner progress, course completion rates, and engagement metrics, providing insights to improve course content and delivery.

### Course Overview

This is the introduction to the course. Typically, a video from the creator introducing themselves, verifying their credentials about the subject, and an introduction of the course with a visual overview of expectations when moving forward.

### Progression Locks

Some modules can be locked on a milestone-basis. Should a creator wish to incentivize progress to move forward and engage with the learning materials, they can add a lock to courses that require completion, payment, or time in the community to advance.

### Modules

Modules can be customized with additional content in a drop-down menu. Creators can build an unlimited number of modules with an unlimited number of lessons attached. The module is intended to give the students an overview of what lessons they can find inside. Lessons inside each module can contain text, video, or both. Entirely up to the creator.

{% hint style="info" %}
Customizable formatting options are available inside of the course creation page. Creators typically opt-in to creating high-quality video lessons to visually engage learners.

On the community front, members can open up discussions to ask questions on certain topics and even schedule their own independent learning session & workshops to help others navigate the same potential knowledge gaps.

Community members will also be incentivized on a status-basis with the implementation of leaderboards. Creators can encourage friendly competition and engagement through showcasing progress made within the course structure.

Creators can provide monetary incentives as part of their campaigns to acquire and retain users amongst the platform, encouraging engagement and progress climbing the leaderboard for both digital and physical rewards (creator-specific).<br>
