Chapter 08

Academy

Taking courses, and teaching them.

08.01

How do courses work?

Lessons unlock on a schedule that starts the day you enrol, not a fixed date.

Courses are delivered lesson by lesson. The schedule is counted from your own enrolment date, so joining late does not mean arriving halfway through — you start at lesson one whenever you start.

A locked lesson shows the date it opens rather than just a padlock. Your place is remembered, so picking a course back up resumes where you stopped.

Can I teach a course?

Yes. Turn on teaching in your settings, then build the course lesson by lesson.

  1. 1Turn on teaching in your profile settings.
  2. 2Build the course — lessons, video for each one, and notes underneath.
  3. 3Choose how it is delivered: all at once, or dripped on a schedule.
  4. 4Publish. A live checklist tells you what is still missing until it clears.

About money

Charging for a course needs payouts enabled first. Free courses can be published without it.

Why can I not change my course any more?

Because somebody is enrolled. Lessons freeze; everything else stays editable.

Once a student is in a course, its lessons, their order and their videos lock. Students' progress is recorded against those lessons, and rearranging them underneath would erase where people had got to.

The title, description, cover, what is included and the price stay editable forever. You can also replace a lesson's video right up until it unlocks.
