From scattered uploads to seamless structure

Want to group your content into a cohesive, engaging series? Whether you're sharing short videos, printable guides, or full-length courses, you can organize your content into a series that’s intuitive for learners and easy to manage. Here’s how.

Your cheat sheet for this article:

• Any content can be grouped into a series (videos, audios, documents, courses, or interactive resources).
  
  

• Request Edovo’s spreadsheet to submit your series details: email content@edovo.org.
  
  

• Include the series title, description, icon (500 x 500px), and content per season.
  
  

• Seasons can be chronological or thematic—whatever helps learners follow the journey.
  

What is a series?

A series is a simple, structured way to organize related content on the Edovo platform. Think of it like building a digital bookshelf: instead of uploading 20 individual videos that end up scattered across the library, you can group them together in one clearly labeled collection—complete with “seasons” if you want to break things down further. It keeps your content easy to find, easy to follow, and easy to return to.

The most common use? Short videos that follow a clear sequence. But a series can be used to group just about anything, including:

• Audio lessons or meditations organized by theme
  
  

• Handouts, newsletters or guides that complement one another
  
  

• A collection of interactive resources designed to build specific skills
  
  

• Stand-alone resources that work best when presented together
  
  

• Courses that build on each other or belong in the same learning track
  
  

• Seasonal or topical collections like wellness, parenting, reentry, or financial literacy
  
  

If it makes sense for learners to see your content together—put it in a series.

How do I create a series?

1. Series title: 

• Best practices for series titles

• Keep it short and direct. Aim for under 70 characters.
  
  

• Use sentence case. Only the first word and proper nouns should be capitalized.
  
  

• Reflect the outcome or theme. What will learners gain?
  
  

• Avoid gimmicks or vague language. Clarity wins over cleverness.
  
  

• Examples

• Foundations for Recovery

• Recovery Tools That Work

• Rebuilding from the Inside Out
  
  

2. Series description: A short summary of what the series covers.

• Best practices for series descriptions

• Pack a punch in the first 150–300 characters. That’s what learners will see first, especially on small tablet screens.
  
  

• Make it learner-focused. What will this series help them do, understand, or improve?
  
  

• Avoid jargon. Use plain language that’s accessible at a 5th–6th grade reading level.
  
  

• Keep it under 500 characters. Think of this like your pitch—concise but meaningful.
  
  

• Strong description examples:

• This video series shares real-world tips and strategies for rebuilding after incarceration—one step at a time.
  
  

• A guided audio series to help you practice mindfulness, reduce stress, and build inner strength while inside.
  
  

• These printable workbooks and guides walk you through everything from job prep to budgeting.
  
  
  

3. Series Icon Guidelines

• Your series icon is like a book cover—it’s the first thing learners see when they scroll. It should visually represent the theme, topic, or general tone of the series in a clear and compelling way.

• Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Size matters: Icons must be 500px by 500px.
  
  

• Keep it simple: Avoid lots of text. Too many words—or small font—won’t be readable on tablets.
  
  

• Let visuals speak: Use images, symbols, or color schemes that hint at the series focus (e.g., a suitcase for reentry, a heart for emotional wellness, a notebook for job skills).
  
  

• Match the mood: Make sure the image fits the tone of the content—whether it's calming, empowering, educational, or inspiring.

4. Season structure: Each “season” can include 1–20(ish) items and can be labeled however you like:
   
   

• Season one, Season two

• Part one, Part two

• Getting Started, Building Skills
  
  

Pro tip: Ideally, content types in a series should match (all videos, all audios, etc.) for best learner experience—but we can make exceptions when the flow makes sense.

How will it look?

Each season appears as a dropdown within the series, making it easy for learners to navigate from one item to the next—especially helpful when your content builds on itself or follows a narrative flow.

That said, series content isn’t locked into a required order. Learners can jump around, explore at their own pace, and start wherever they feel most curious or ready. It’s a flexible, user-friendly structure designed to meet learners where they are.

TL;DR: Build better bundles

Any content can be organized into a series. To get started, email content@edovo.org and ask for the series upload spreadsheet. We’ll help you group your materials in a way that makes sense—both for learners and for you.
