What is a course?
A Course (aka ‘learning’ unit type) is Juno’s main content type for structured learning. Courses contain sections — each section holds content like text, images, videos, embedded resources, and questions.
Course structure
A Course is made up of sections. Each section can contain:- Rich text content
- Embedded videos and images
- Questions (multiple choice, open text, true/false)
- File uploads and interactive elements

Course settings
The settings panel has 3 tabs for courses: General, Course Behavior, and Permission & Control.
General tab
Cover image blur
Use Cover image blur when the cover photo has busy details, bright areas, or low contrast against the title and description. Blur applies a soft focus to the intro image so overlay text stays readable, and it does not change the underlying file.1
Open the course
Go to the course and open the intro screen that shows the cover image.
2
Toggle blur
Hover the cover image and click the blur icon next to the photo edit button. Juno highlights the icon when blur is on.
The blur toggle applies instantly to the live course — you do not need to republish. Learners see the change the next time they open the intro screen.
Course Behavior tab
Completion criteria — Controls when a course is marked as completed:
Feedback for closed questions — Controls when correct answers are revealed:
Due dates (if enabled for your organization):
- None — no deadline
- Specific date — a fixed calendar date
- Relative date — calculated from assignment date (e.g., “14 days after assignment”)
- Early warning before the due date (7 days before)
- Reminder before the due date (1 day before)
- Urgent warning for overdue learners (2 days after)
Permission & Control tab
Validation Mode for open-ended questions:
Some settings are only visible if your admin has enabled specific features for your organization.
Certificates
Courses can issue certificates on completion:- Link a certificate template to the course
- Set a certification authority name
- Configure certificate expiration period
Cover image
The cover image appears on the course intro page and in the catalog. To set or update it, open the course intro and select Change photo.Blur the cover image
You can apply a soft blur to the cover image without replacing it — useful when the photo is busy, low resolution, or you want the title and description to stand out.1
Open the course intro
Navigate to the course you want to edit.
2
Toggle blur
On the cover image, select the blur icon next to Change photo. The icon highlights when blur is on.
Blur only affects how the image is displayed. The original photo is preserved, so you can turn the blur off at any time.
Publishing & versioning
Courses have a draft and published version:- Edit the draft without affecting what learners see
- Publish to push changes live
- Version number increments on each publish
