Check the first few steps
Use a test learner account to check access, the welcome message and the route to the first lesson. Make sure the instructions explain where to begin and how to get help.
Review the lesson experience
Open videos, captions, downloads and activities. Check that file names make sense and links go to the intended place. Try the experience on both a phone and a larger screen.
Follow the journey to the end
Check the order of lessons, any completion steps and the closing message. Remove draft text and unused files. Keep a short list of checks to repeat when the course changes.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I test a course with a learner account?
A learner account shows the real access, navigation and completion experience rather than the administrator view.
Which course elements should I test?
Check welcome instructions, lesson order, video, captions, downloads, activities, links, completion steps and support information.
Should I test the course on a phone?
Yes. Test the main learning journey on both a phone and a larger screen so layout or download problems are caught before launch.
