Prepare your content for delivery

Now that you’ve selected the Unity Learn content that best suits your classroom, it’s time to determine how you’ll deliver that content to students. This tutorial will guide you through different approaches based on your available tools, your preferred student-facing platform, and your instructional style. You’ll also learn about a new feature on Unity Learn that makes this step even easier.

At this stage, you are likely asking practical questions such as, “How do I adjust this course to meet my unique needs?”, “How will my course flow?”, and “What will my day-to-day look like?”. We have sourced answers to these questions and more from experienced Unity educators.

Unity course structure case studies

If you’re interested, peruse these Unity course structure case studies to see some of the variation possible when teaching Unity.

After learning how other educators have chosen to run their Unity courses, you’re ready to tackle your own. Before selecting a path, take a moment to clarify your delivery goals:

• Do you want a full-featured course in an LMS, complete with assignments and quizzes?
• Are you looking for a quick-start approach, or do you have time to build a custom course from scratch?
• Do you prefer to lead live lessons and support students as they go? Or will students work at their own pace through the self-paced content?

No matter your starting point, we have a path for you.

If you use some kind of Learning Management System (LMS) and want to build a flexible course that’s easy to update and maintain, this path is for you. It’s ideal for educators who want to stay in control of structure and pacing, while letting Unity Learn handle the content delivery.

What your course will look like

For each tutorial you want students to complete, you’ll create a corresponding activity in your LMS. But instead of copying all the content into your platform, you’ll simply link directly to the Unity Learn tutorial.

Below you can see an example of a manually built course in Google classroom. The activities correspond to the tutorials in a course, and within each of these activities, you simply link to the corresponding Unity Learn page.

The benefits of this approach include the following:

• Saves time to get the content into your system
• Lets Unity Learn handle content updates
• Still allows you to track student completion, collect submissions, or assign reflections
  
  

Use the new CSV export tool

Unity Learn now allows you to Download Course Outline as CSV for any pathway or course. You can find this feature in the Educator Resources section at the bottom of any course or platform overview page.

Example: Tanks! CSV

• Download the sample CSV for Tanks!
• Open the CSV using any spreadsheet tool (Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, etc)
• Examine its structure and notice the tutorial names, links, summaries, and estimated times

Tips

In addition to simply linking the course structure and content as is, you could consider the following customization ideas:

• Pair tutorials with reflection prompts or discussion forums
• Use Google Forms to create simple quizzes
• Post slide decks alongside tutorial links to reinforce learning

Even if you’re not using an LMS, you can still run a fully-structured course. The below guidance details how you can simply have your students go through Unity Learn, then report back to you with their completed projects and quiz scores.

Use Unity Learn directly

• Link students directly to your chosen content on Unity Learn.
• Set goals or due dates via email, shared docs, or Discord
• Ask students to submit weekly project check-ins, screenshots, or videos, highlighting their processes and completed work

Encourage reflection

• Ask students to journal their progress
• Use Discord or Google Docs for peer feedback
• Host short syncs to address roadblocks or review cool projects

If your school uses a Learning Management System that accepts Common Cartridge files, and you plan to teach the Unity Certified Associate: Game Developer curriculum, this path is for you.

What you'll get

• A complete 10-unit course imported directly into your LMS
• Slide decks, assignments, quizzes, and tutorial links already organized
• A strong foundation aligned to Unity's Associate Game Developer certification
  
  

How to use it

1. Download the Common Cartridge File
   Get it here
   
   
2. Import to Your LMS
   Use these upload instructions for popular LMS platforms.
   
   
3. Review and Adjust
   Once imported, take some time to revise due dates, add your own instructions, or customize the flow.

After completing these instructions, you should see something similar to the screenshot below, where the entire course appears in your LMS, broken up into 10 units.

Note: We currently offer a Common Cartridge only for the Unity Certified Associate: Game Developer curriculum. If educators find this useful, we may invest in creating similar exports for other Unity Learn courses and pathways.

Whichever path you’ve chosen, we recommend taking the first step now:

• Start building your course setup, even if it’s just one or two activities
• See what kinds of obstacles or questions come up
• Take screenshots of how you're organizing things in your LMS or planning document

This will not only help surface practical questions early — it also gives you something to share with fellow educators. You might help someone else figure out their path, too!

If you want, share your decision and thought process with other educators who are going through this content. Open the comments thread for this step of the tutorial and answer the following prompts:

• Which delivery method are you planning to use?
• Are there any customizations you're considering?
