Overview#
A course platform serving two distinct users with opposing needs. Instructors need a structured authoring tool that does not require technical skill; learners need to get into the content and stay oriented in it. Building both properly in one system means the data model has to serve authoring and consumption equally, rather than being designed for one and adapted for the other.
Instructor Experience#
- Course structure — courses composed of chapters and lessons, reorderable, so the shape of a course can change as it is written rather than being fixed on creation
- Draft and publish states at both course and lesson level, so an instructor can add to a live course without exposing unfinished work
- Content management for lesson material, attachments, and media
- Course metadata — title, description, category, pricing, and cover imagery
- Instructor dashboard covering published courses, enrolment, and learner progress
Learner Experience#
- A focused player interface
