Useful Links
The fields below cover Google's Course list feature and the fields used by Unhead's resolver. They do not cover every property on schema.org/Course. Other valid properties, such as coursePrerequisites, pass through to the generated JSON-LD. Use a custom node with schema-dts when you need full Schema.org typing.
Examples
defineCourse({
name: 'Introduction to Computer Science and Programming',
description: 'Introductory CS course laying out the basics.',
provider: {
name: 'University of Technology - Eureka',
sameAs: 'http://www.ut-eureka.edu',
},
})
For Google's course list feature, mark up at least three courses and add the required ItemList carousel properties. Each Course needs name and description, together with valid provider information.
Defaults and resolves
