There are 5 modules in this course

Start your Notion journey by diving into its most powerful feature: databases. You’ll learn the difference between in-line and full-page databases, explore all the major database views—Table, Board, Gallery, List, and Calendar—and practice building sample databases to organize your content clearly and effectively.

Take your database skills to the next level by working with custom properties and Notion’s advanced Timeline view. This module shows you how to add and configure fields like Select, Multi-select, Status, and Date, then visualize your projects over time using Timeline for better planning and tracking.

Unlock the full potential of Notion databases with advanced property types. Learn to use system-generated fields like Created Time, build connections across databases using Relations, and incorporate formulas, checkboxes, files, people, and more. This module equips you with the tools to automate and streamline your workspace.

Learn how to transform your data into a user-friendly dashboard. You’ll design an organized and visually appealing Notion page using layout tools, color schemes, and creative touches like GIFs and mood boards. By the end, your dashboard will be both practical and personalized for daily use.

Bring your workspace to life with embedded widgets and intuitive navigation. This final module walks you through creating a custom navigation tab and configuring widgets that improve interactivity and access. You’ll wrap up by refining your page design and submitting your final project for peer review.
