I'm curious about the top platforms for selling educational content and resources. With so many options available, I’m looking for insights on which ones provide the best tools for creators. Any suggestions?

I am creating and MVP eith a friend for and MMORPG that involves quizzing...so you quiz for power ups etc. Do people like this idea for an e-learning platform?

I want to create a course with videos (this will be my first one) and my goal is to sell it here locally where I live. I have my own website and am decent with marketing.

I was looking at teachable and a few alternatives and they all seem pretty expensive starting off. Like who knows if I’d even sell at all.

What’s the real benefit of using these platforms vs rather just using a plugin on Wordpress or bluehost?

My goal is to sell my course on my website, they pay there and then get access to the course through my website, and they get access to a private discord channel. I know several larger YouTubers who do this with teachable who can afford this but doesn’t really make sense for me yet. All of those extra features like quizzes and moderators and everything else doesn’t really make sense for me to use or want.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here, and I’d love to get your thoughts!

We’re a SaaS company working on a platform designed to help creators, teachers, and educators easily create and sell online courses.

To better understand the market and build something truly valuable, we’d appreciate your insights on a few things:

Q1: How do you currently create digital courses online?
Q2: Where do you sell your courses, and what platforms do you use?
Q3: How do you handle payments? Do you use your own payment gateway, or do you rely on third-party options?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and thoughts.

The idea: An e-learning platform where creators/companies can embed courses/training on their sites, kinda like a large widget.

Would this be a big enough advantage over other software?

I've built a basic version but have no marketing experience and I'm struggling to get people to try it.

Question as in the title. I'm working on two separate projects, and each of them involves scripts, animations, and a workbook. We're a small team -- just three people -- but managing this is a headache.

I'm looking for an affordable project management tool that will support task dependencies, possibly notes/updates/discussion on individual tasks, and delivery timelines. Bonus points if you can suggest a CMS to store it all.

I am so mad people .. I just can't.

I was a payed user (1500$ or something per Year) I had the full package also to be able to have affiliate partners.

After making not that revenue I hoped, i switched to the free-plan in which i could have still my users (but don't add more) and 1 course with the content. Everything is fine.

But somehow .. i cannot open my school anymore. And i think, according to the URL its on the "custom domain" to the courses. In the free plan i guess you dont have any custom domain anymore, but the school is still linking to it in my sso-teachable admin profile.

I can't even join my school as an admin nor as an student. I sold few courses and people would like to have access to their bought knowdledge.

so I opened up a ticket and wait for 10 days for that simple change. But nobody is reacting. You can't reach them by phone nothing. Its a huge scam, the worst customer experience ever. How can a company that big act like that?

AND they are still promoting it for blackfriday. Thats a real scam. I even commented on Instagram and got an DM they told me "please write your email and we can get in touch with you" i even send them a video in the dm's how everything looks, on my 4 tickets a send a video recording link - but no reaction at all .. the person in Instagramm is ghosting me .. thats horrible.

Never ever trust a company, where you can't reach at least someone by phone. Thats incredible frustrating.

Sorry for the long text, looking forward for your experience.

I would like to create an online academy for bioinformatics. Most of the teaching will be done via video and scripts and I am tending towards Kajabi. But I thought it would be great if I could actually integrate the coding parts directly into the platform, like they did it on dataCamp. I can not really find any proper information on that online but maybe someone here has experience with it? Which LMS did you use to create and sell courses for coding online?

Thanks a lot for advise! :)

Looking to create simulators for some online training courses. I want to create a sim for a specific procedure using a specific piece of equipment. I just can’t find an authoring tool that uses no code. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'll start off by saying I have been incredibly naive (stupid) here.

Two years ago, I created a course with Kajabi and started selling it without realising I'd be on the hook for sales tax/VAT in whatever countries and states (for US-based sales) the customers were in. Stupidly, I assumed that whatever I made from selling on Kajabi, I would just pay regular UK income tax on. I now know that is not the case and have an international sales tax backlog to work through...

I understand there are third party integrations for Kajabi that tell you where and when you need to register for and pay sales tax/VAT based on the location of your customers, but going forward I'd much rather go with an all-in-one solution where I can host my course, with the platform collecting, registering, and paying all sales taxes without me having to do anything. Am I right in thinking Thinkrific and Teachable do this and are well respected options here?

In a nutshell, I need something that:

• Actually pays sales tax/VAT on my behalf.

• Has great customer support (I thought Kajabi were pretty good at this!)

• Is reliable and easy to use. I don't need lots of bells and whistles, just the ability to create landing pages and a couple of on-demand courses comprising of high quality videos.

• Costs the same or less than what I'm paying for Kajabi's 'Growth' Plan - $1,908 a year.

Any steer you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've been using Sensei to sell online courses for about 10 years, and it's an average product at best. Woo tech support is absolutely horrendous, so I have to figure things out on my own or hire someone. It's also slowly developed without many new features.

I use the Woocommerce Stripe plugin for payments and ConvertKit plugin for email automation. It all works fairly well the majority of the time.

My courses are basically recorded PowerPoint presentations hosted on Vimeo and documents protected with Download Manager plugin. Users get a certificate of completion when they've completed all the coursework.

I'm thinking of switching to LifterLMS or LearnDash but wanted to get some opinions if making the change is worth it.

Hello! I have courses that I have distributed B2C and B2B using Kajabi, but had had organizations looking to license the content for their own LMS. I had used DropBox with .mp4 files in the interim as I explore more robust and secure solutions. I've been exploring Rustici SCORM Cloud, but when I try to upload individual files, I get stuck on this message even with one small video. Is there a reliable service that can help take organized videos on a DropBox platform and upload them to Rustici? I had reached out to their support team, but they said they do not provide or recommend any. Or are there other similar platforms you would recommend? I had looked at Paradiso and Conveyor, but Rustici seems to be the gold standard. Thank you!

Hi,

I'm used ISpring suite a bit to create some online training courses, and it's been fine. I find the PowerPoint layout is OK for desktop but some mobile users can have difficulties.

I came across this elearning course and I'm trying to identify the package used to author it so I can do a bit of a deeper dive into it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Thank you for anyone who can offer some insight. Is it true that there is no way for the backend team to export learning material that was built in Workramp?

Has anyone found a way to manipulate Thinkific's new resource library feature and create a category tree for courses? I can't seem to figure out how to build a tree instead of using the Smart Categories, and Support hasn't been fantastic about it yet.

Hi everyone,

I ended up in e-learning my chance. I studied to be a financial planner (CFP) found a job as a PM at a financual education company making CE courses.

The job is stable - pays decent and it's great in terms of work life balance but I am worried about growth since I am the only employee in the company. Also I have not learned anything new in the past year. I've been here for 4 years. (I am 27 btw)

Majority of my job is -

1. Building Rise courses

2. LMS management / admin

3. Customer service (Moslty Emails) / Excel spreadsheets / Routine Admin tasks

How can I prepare myself for future career growth. I got my PMP earlier this year and thinking of giving the GMAT soon. The plan is to give the GMAT - switch jobs - Ideally as a PM in L&D at a bigger firm.

I want to eventually work for a bigger organization and build a career in L&D.

Any advice is much appreciated? Thank you!

hey guys, my work is looking to create an online platform for students using kajabi and they want to incorporate some gamification features to get people to enjoy the course they’re taking while they’re learning. we’re thinking of implanting a points system where if they get a question right or complete a lesson, they receive X amount of points. Does anyone know if kajabi can do this?? or is there a plug in i’ll need to incorporate for this to work? any help is great!

I'm doing some market/industry research for a client in eLearning and it seems like there's a really big problem with Training Administrators not being able to make Learners finish their training courses. What are the top ways that Admins can get to a 100% completion rate?

I'd like the suggestions/insights to be as detailed as possible, please.

Which platforms are most individuals (non institutions) using to build online courses? What features do these platforms have, discussion forums? Testing / quizzing and the like.

I’m finding it difficult to make the first lesson of my online course captivating enough to keep students interested. What should I include to hook my students right from the start while keeping things informative and easy to follow?

Hey there! We've cooked up this cool tool called Mousai to make your post-lecture studying a breeze. Just toss in your lecture materials (recordings, slides, notes—you name it), and presto! Mousai organizes everything, giving you a lecture outline, key concepts, and a mind map. It even throws in some quiz questions for good measure. Got any burning questions? No sweat—fire away in the Q&A section.

It's currently free, and we're on the hunt for alpha testers to put Mousai through its paces. Interested in being one of our pioneer testers? Awesome! Just fill out this form, and we'll get you set up in no time. Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone! I've been experimenting with an interesting approach to scenario-based learning that I'd love to get your insights on. Traditional role-play has always been a powerful tool for developing interpersonal skills, but the logistics and scalability have been challenging.

My observations on using AI for role-play practice:

Learning Design Elements:

• Learners can practice scenarios repeatedly without facilitator fatigue
• Immediate feedback on communication patterns
• Branching dialogue trees adjust to learner responses
• Practice can happen asynchronously

Current Applications I'm Testing:

• Customer service training
• Sales conversations
• Managerial coaching scenarios
• Conflict resolution practice

Questions for the Community:

1. How do you currently handle role-play in your learning designs?
2. What challenges have you faced with traditional role-play methods?
3. Has anyone else experimented with AI-driven practice scenarios?

Would love to hear your experiences and perspectives on incorporating this kind of technology into learning design.

I’m looking for a tool (or more than one) that enables me to:

1. Sell B2C and therefore have automated shop capability and automatic enrolment.
2. Enable affiliate marketing.
3. The authoring part need to allow gamification, microlearnings and testing with a certificate at the end of successful completion. It is a plus point if learning paths are possible.
4. GDPR compliant.

So far I think that articulate storyline and learnworlds are the best option. Can you recommend a better solution?

That time can include pre-preparation, scripting, recording, editing etc.

Edit: Will be bit more specific. Tutorial style, faceless videos. Say teaching a programming language.
