You can create a dynamic URL for each course.

As for query parameters... yes you can use them. I actually did post about it but searching your own content in the new community is tough, so i do have trouble finding it.

In my code library i found this snippet with which you can read query params.

function getQueryVariable(variable)
{
       var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
       var vars = query.split("&");
       for (var i=0;i<vars.length;i++) {
               var pair = vars[i].split("=");
               if(pair[0] == variable){return pair[1];}
       }
       return(false);
}


/*
Example URL:
http://www.example.com/index.php?id=1&image=awesome.jpg

Calling getQueryVariable("id") – would return “1”.
Calling getQueryVariable("image") – would return “awesome.jpg”.
