CreateUpon gives you eight ways to get a course in front of learners, all from the same Share menu. Pick the format that fits the situation: a quick link for an email, a QR code for a printed handout, an embed for your website, a SCORM package for an LMS, or a downloadable file for offline use.
The Share menu is the entry point for every option in this article.
1. Open the course in the editor.
2. Select the Share icon in the top-right of the toolbar.
The menu opens with publishing controls at the top and download options below.
Publishing makes the course accessible at its public URL. Anyone with the link, or with the course embedded on a website, can open it.
Static downloads — PDF, PowerPoint, and Static SCORM — do not require publishing. You can hand those files out even if the course is unpublished.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Select Publish course.
3. In the Ready to publish? dialog, review the recommendation to check the AI-generated content.
4. Select Publish my course.
The status indicator at the top of the menu changes from Unpublished to Published.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Select Unpublish course.
Existing shareable links, embeds, and QR codes stop working until you publish the course again.
A shareable link opens the course in any browser. No learner sign-in is required.
Each course has two link formats:
- Course format: a navigable, self-paced experience for individual learners. Best when learners work through the course at their own pace.
- Presentation format: a slide-by-slide layout designed for full-screen delivery. Best for live training sessions, webinars, or screen sharing.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Under Shareable Link, select Presentation format or Course format.
A toast confirms that the link is on your clipboard. Paste it into an email, a message, or an LMS announcement.
A QR code opens the course on a phone. Best for printed handouts, posters, or in-room displays during a workshop.
The QR code points to the Course format link.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Scroll to QR Code at the bottom of the link section.
3. Select QR Code to copy the image to your clipboard as a PNG.
Paste the image into a slide, document, or poster.
> Tip: Scan the QR code with your phone to test it before printing or distributing.
An interactive embed places the course inside another website. The embedded course is fully responsive and behaves the same as the live course.
Embeds work on any platform that accepts HTML or an iframe block, including Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, Webflow, and Typedream.
Each embed has two formats:
- Course format: ideal for self-paced learning inside a help center, knowledge base, or membership site.
- Presentation format: ideal for showcasing a course on a landing page, where visitors flick through slide by slide.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Under Interactive Embed, select Presentation format or Course format.
3. Paste the copied <iframe> code into an HTML or embed block on your site.
The default code uses 100% width and height. To set a fixed size, edit the style attribute, for example: style="border: none; height:600px; width:800px;".
A SCORM 1.2 package lets you upload a course to a Learning Management System (LMS) like LearnUpon, Moodle, Cornerstone, or TalentLMS. The LMS can then assign the course, track learner progress, and record completion.
A dynamic SCORM package is a small wrapper file that loads your course content from CreateUpon's servers at runtime.
Dynamic SCORM works well for:
- LMS environments with reliable internet access
- courses that update often, so learners always see the latest version
- exports where a small file size matters
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Select Dynamic SCORM 1.2.
3. Upload the downloaded ZIP file to your LMS.
A static SCORM 1.2 package bundles every image, video, audio file, font, and AI-generated narration into a single self-contained ZIP file. Learners do not need an internet connection to play it.
Static SCORM works well for:
- LMS environments with restricted or no internet access
- compliance or archival scenarios where the course must be self-contained
- environments where firewalls block external network calls
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Select Static SCORM 1.2.
3. Upload the downloaded ZIP file to your LMS.
A PDF export generates a printable document of your course content. Best for offline reading, printed handouts, or attaching to an email.
PDF exports are asynchronous: CreateUpon queues a job, generates the file in the background, and lists it under Export Log when ready. Generation takes up to 5 minutes. Each export stays available to download for 7 days.
When you export a PDF, you can configure:
- Orientation: Portrait or Landscape. Default is Landscape.
- Print Background: include course background colors and images. Turn this off if you plan to print on paper, since solid backgrounds use a lot of ink.
- Quality: choose Lowest (~4 MB), Medium (~15 MB), High (~25 MB), or Maximum (~40 MB). Default is High.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Select PDF Export.
3. Choose your orientation, background, and quality settings.
4. Select Create export.
5. When the job finishes, select the download icon next to the entry in Export Log.
A PowerPoint .pptx) export generates a fully editable Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. Use this when you need to hand the course to someone who wants to repurpose it as a slide deck.
The export is not interactive. Quizzes, embedded videos, and animations become static slides.
Like PDF exports, PowerPoint exports are asynchronous. Generation takes up to 5 minutes, and the file stays available for 7 days under Export Log.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Select Powerpoint Export.
3. Select Create export.
4. When the job finishes, select the download icon next to the entry in Export Log.
An audio course downloads the whole course as a single MP3 file, narrated by an AI voice. Best for learners who prefer to listen on the go.
The narration uses the voice configured for the course. To use a different voice, change the course's voice setting before downloading.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Select Audio course.
The MP3 file downloads to your computer.
A course password adds a layer of protection to a published course. Anyone who opens the shareable link, embed, or QR code is asked to enter the password before they can view the content.
The password applies to the entire course. It does not apply to PDF, PowerPoint, audio, or SCORM exports — those files are not protected once they are downloaded.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Scroll to Course password.
3. In the Input password field, enter a password.
The password takes effect right away. Share it with learners through a separate channel from the course link.
1. Open the Share menu.
2. Clear the Course password field.
The course is now accessible without a password.
Dynamic vs Static SCORM
CreateUpon supports two types of SCORM 1.2 export: dynamic and static. Each packages your course in a different way, so the right choice depends on your LMS environment and requirements.
