Step 3: Set up your course structure

To set up your course structure, create modules and lessons that make up your course. Click on "Add Module" to create a new module and provide the title and description. You can add lessons to the module by clicking on "Add Lesson" and can enhance them by uploading files, embedding videos, and adding quizzes.
