User-created course documentation?

in the hope that we eventually will get this capability, is there any existing documentation that could be shared that would guide us in creating our own plans?

Miles, have you seen this?

The Courses Tool actually falls under the Logos development team, not Mobile Ed. I'll forward this thread to the relevant internal person. You could also post int he General or Logos 8 forums.

Thanks for raising the question, Petah. Yes, user-created courses is something we've always wanted to deliver, and we still hope to support at some point. It's going to take a fair bit of effort to get there from where we are today, though: right now, there's a fairly involved process to curate the readings and put them in a format that our data compiler can understand and the deliver to the Courses tool. It's not terribly technical (anyone who has edited a Wikipedia page could easily learn it), but we'd probably have to revise the entire model considerably to make it a user-friendly UI. That means that any documentation we have today likely wouldn't apply in the future. 

For now, that leaves you with a couple of options: 

• Create a Custom Reading Plan. It's not quite the same as the Courses tool, but Custom plans allow you to create session-by-session readings from multiple resources; so you can approximate the same kind of topical study that are offered in Courses. You can also share a custom reading plan as public document, so any Logos user can get a copy and begin it on their schedule.  
• Partner with Faithlife to become a Course plan contributor. Many of our topical courses were contributed by Logos users who we trained on the correct formatting, which we then shipped in the code. If that sounds interesting to you, I can connect you with the right people here at Faithlife.
