iKnow! - Custom Course Editor

Welcome to the Custom Course Editor

On this page, you'll learn how to use the Custom Course Editor to make your own customized courses
and create original items and sentences.

1　Making a course

On the Custom tab of My Courses, click the "Create a new course" button.

Choose a name for your course, set your language and the language you're learning, upload an optional course image (under 2MB), and click "create".

Official support is currently offered for Japanese, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and English.

2　Adding items

Click "add new item" to start building your course and creating an item.

* To study a course, it must contain at least 10 items.
* The maximum number of items a course can contain is 100.

Enter the item (a word, phrase, or sentence), the response (the item translation), and part of speech. Autocomplete will assist you in the item creation process.

* The maximum item length is 90 characters, and the maximum response length is 45 characters.

How to import items into a course

To import items, go to a course page and choose which items to add by clicking the checkbox next to each item. To select or deselect all items, click the top left checkbox.

Choose “Add items to course” and click “Apply”. Then choose which course you want to add the items to and click “Add items”. Those items will now be in the selected course.

* You can only add items to a course with the corresponding language pair.
In other words, if the item is Japanese->English, only Japanese->English courses will appear as options. * The maximum number of items per course is 100. If you try to add over 100 items to any given course, you will see an error message.

To add an existing sentence from the system, choose a sentence from the "Add a sentence" tab and click the "add" button.
