#📝 Course Title & Provider (Headline)

Examples:

Te Ahu o te Reo - Kaupeka | Takatū

‘Tāhuhu Reo Māori’ is the course name, ‘Te Wānanga o Raukawa’ is the provider.

✍️ Course Description

Use the Content field to add a brief summary of the course.

🏩 Māori Providers

If the course is delivered by a Māori-owned and operated organisation, add this tag:

Māori_org

This tag prioritises the course to appear at the top of the course list.

Examples of Māori providers:

If unsure, do a quick background check to confirm.

See the Māori_org tag in action.

To direct users to the course's external page, add this tag:

webpage_link:FULL_URL

Example:

webpage_link:https://www.reomaori.co.nz

This will make the entire course card clickable and open the link in a new tab.

The webpage_link tag enables external linking from the course card.

📚 Difficulty Level (Required)

Add one of the following tags based on the course level. These will colour-code the card and enable filtering.

Level Tag Colour

📍 Location (Required)

Location is used to help people find local or region-specific courses. Use the provider’s location if the course is online. If it’s nationwide, tag every region it applies to.

Some examples:

filter_location_Tāmaki Makaurau | Auckland
filter_location_Te Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington
filter_location_Overseas
