A course is a resource, not a compulsory route. It gathers everything the site teaches on a subject, in modules and lessons. When you have a goal, the site keeps only the lessons that serve your skills, and shows the course in a “For my goal” view. This lesson explains how content is organised and how to read both views.
Course, module, block, lesson
| Level | What it is | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Course | a complete thematic path: Linux, Kubernetes, Terraform | exploring a subject in full |
| Module | a coherent part of a course, with its outcome | the unit a programme is presented in |
| Skill block | a readable group of skills | targeting what matters for a goal |
| Lesson | a page that teaches a gesture, with its quiz or lab | the concrete action |
The two views of a course
With a job aimed at, a course programme and its sidebar offer two views. “For my goal” shows only the useful lessons, with their number out of the course total; “Whole path” shows everything. Both views show the same numbers on the programme and in the sidebar. Switching from one to the other erases nothing.
Why a module can be partly useful
A module often teaches several skills. If your goal keeps only one, only its lessons count: the module is partly useful, and that is normal. The other lessons stay readable: they simply do not join your path.
Following a whole course
You can also choose a course for its own sake: “Follow this course”, on its programme, adds it to your goals. All its lessons then count, and the engine adds the missing prerequisites.
Key takeaways
- A course is a resource; your goal decides what counts.
- “For my goal” and “Whole path” show the same numbers everywhere.
- A partly useful module is nothing unusual.
- “Follow this course” makes the whole course count.
