Course creation basics
From the Learning homepage, click Actions --> Create self-paced course
In the "Details" section, you'll want to add the basic information about the event - Name, description, facilitators (optional).
Course Content
If your district uses Canvas LMS alongside KickUp, you will see the Canvas integration section, where you may link a Canvas course to the KickUp course. To do so, click Select course, then search for an existing Canvas course by name or ID. Read more about using the Canvas integration here.
If you'd like to enable Content within the KickUp Course (modules with assignments, resources, and quizzes) select "Enable content for this course." Once you have created the course you will add the content on the course details page. Read more about Course Content here.
The "Automatically grant credit upon course completion" option is automatically selected. This means once a course participant has completed (and passed) all course requirements their attendance will be automatically confirmed and they will receive credit. If you'd like to grant credit for each individual manually, uncheck the box.
Note: A KickUp course cannot have Content enabled and be linked to a Canvas course. Only one of these options must be chosen.
Due Dates
To add a due date to a course, click + Due Date in the Time & Location section of the course creation form.
To set a specific calendar date (e.g., October 1, 2025) as the due date for everyone, click Specific due date and select a date
To set a due date that is relative to when a specific staff member is first registered for the course (e.g., 10 days after registration), click Number of days after registration and enter a specific number of days
Once a due date is set, KickUp will automatically send reminder emails and display the due date prominently across the platform for course registrants. Read more about due dates here (add link).
