Terminology

The main terms you'll hear in Coassemble: courses, screens, collections, workspaces, recipients, and templates.

If you're new to Coassemble, a few terms come up often. Here's what each one means.

Course

A course is a piece of training that someone works through and completes. It's made up of screens, and you can share it by link, email, or Slack, embed it in your own product, or export it as a SCORM package for your LMS.

Screen

A screen is a single unit of content within a course, like a slide in a presentation. Each screen holds one idea, and can include text, images, video, quizzes, and other interactive elements.

Collection

A collection is a group of courses bundled together into a learning path or program, for example a new-hire onboarding journey or a certification track. Collections help you structure related courses so people take them in order.

Workspace

Your workspace is your central hub in Coassemble. It's where all your screens, courses, and collections are created, stored, and managed, and where your account and settings live.

Recipient

A recipient is anyone who takes a course. They don't need a Coassemble account, and depending on how you share a course, a recipient can be anonymous or identified (where you can see who completed what).

Template

A template is a ready-made or shareable course you can copy and adapt. Starting from a template means you build from an existing structure rather than a blank course.
