Where to add instructor information

Your Course and Lesson pages are a great place to add some instructor bio information.

Share relevant details about yourself with your Course customers, such as your name, photo, and details about your professional background, qualifications, subject matter expertise, or interests.

Course templates with a built-in Instructor Block

The Premier, Creative, and Prosper templates all include a conveniently built-in Instructor Block that you can add to your Course and Lesson sidebars.

First, add your instructor image, name, title, and instructor bio in your Site Details Settings , and those details can be linked to the Instructor Block on both your Course and Lesson page templates when you customize your Course.

Adding instructor info to other templates and pages

Want to add your instructor information to a Course template or site page without a built-in Instructor Block? No problem! Add your info to any page you’d like using sections and blocks in the Page Builder.


Update your instructor info in the Site Details Settings

Add your instructor image, name, title, and instructor bio in your Site Details Settings. Then, create a Course using the Premier, Creative, or Prosper template and add an Instructor Block to your Product Sidebar.

By linking your course instructor block to instructor bio site settings, your information will be pulled into your course:

Imported

Note:
An Instructor image and name are required when linking your instructor block to your site settings. If those values are not completed, the instructor block will not display in your preview or for your course members.

To edit your instructor information in your Site Settings:

  • Open the Settings tab from your Dashboard.
  • Click Site Details.
  • Navigate to the Instructor section.
  • Upload an image of the instructor.
  • Enter the instructor's name.
  • Include the instructor's title.
  • Add the instructor's bio.
  • Then, click Save to keep and apply your changes:

Note:
Adding your instructor info in the Site Settings will not retroactively update your info in any pre-existing Courses you’ve created. If you’ve already created a Course using a template with a built-in Instructor Block, update your information directly on the Course and Lesson templates.

Add instructor info to your Course page template

The Premier, Creative, and Prosper templates include an Instructor Block that you can add to your course sidebar, which you can customize with your own information.

If you choose to build your Course with a template that doesn’t have a pre-built Instructor Block, you can create one using the default text and image blocks in the Page Builder.

Note:
Updating your instructor info on your Course page template will not update the instructor info on your Lesson page template. Be sure to manually update your information in both places or select the "link to instructor bio site settings" for any Instructor Block to easily update your instructor info from your site settings.

Add instructor information by customizing the built-in Instructor Block

To manually edit the Instructor Block on your Course page template:

  • Open the Products tab from your Dashboard.
  • Select a Course to edit.
  • Click Customize.
  • Place your cursor over the Course page template and click Customize.
  • Then, click to open the Instructor Block in the Course template sidebar.
  • Deselect "link to instructor bio site settings" if you wish to manually update your instructor block.
  • Update the Heading, Image, Name, Title, and Bio fields as desired.
  • Click Save to keep your changes:

Tip:
Include information for multiple instructors by adding Instructor Blocks to the sidebar. Simply click "Add Content" in the Product Sidebar editor and choose “Instructor” as the block type.

Add instructor information with default text and image blocks

Use page sections and blocks to add your instructor information to a Course page designed with the Momentum template (or to any other Course page template, website page, or landing page where you’d like to showcase this information).

To add instructor information using default page blocks:

  • Option 1: Add your instructor information into existing page template blocks.
  • Option 2: Create a new section and add a text block and image block.
