Feature Requests
Organize courses
Organise courses through tags or categories. Arrange so courses are grouped potentially in a certain order or by type in the side bar. It will help with any kind of overwhelm when there are many course as well as allowing a path to be taken on a learning journey.
Create Structured Video Courses
I like how websites that host video courses, such as Udemy, structure their courses. Each course is divided into organized sections, and each section contains multiple video lectures in it. I have included an image that illustrates this structure.
Bundled course pricing
I would love to be able to offer bundled courses. For example, if a mini-course is $20, I'd love to be able to offer 2 for $30 or 3 for $40. Currently, the workaround would be a bit complicated.
COURSE: Duplicate course modules and lessons
The ability to duplicate an entire course or individual module or lesson within the course to speed up creation time.
Courses API Endpoints: ability to create new courses + modules
Good to see the new courses endpoints. It would be great to also have the following: create a new course create a new module Thanks!
[Courses] Lesson Library as if a "Component Library" to share between courses
Create course by mix/match lessons from other courses! I'd imagine the new views for managing members, groups etc could nicely work to make a nice interfaces for this as well.
Prerequisite courses
I see that your API has course completion and add to group as triggers and actions. This means it would be very easy for you to implement prequisites by having an internal feature that adds the member to a group upon completion, which would make courses visible that have the completed course as a prerequisite. This is a very common feature of courses that I think would have broad usefulness…
API - courses endpoint
Zapier has a trigger on course complete, but via the API there is no courses endpoint available publicly.
Heartbeat Courses
Ability to easily create, run, and manage courses within Heartbeat. Quick loom video on how we're thinking about v1: https://www.loom.com/share/41b13ca8026d490a9e9bb73d2b0b5b72
Course Analytics
Would love to see additional analytics re: courses; such as which activities were completed per week by cohort
Course completed then ...
… what? I'd like to promote/upgrade people who completed a course, by adding a special group or removing onboarding-content…
Course as channel
It would be great if you could add a course as in the channel so its seen that this is what is needed in one of the private categories for people
course % completed analytics
Be able to look at course analytics on the analytics page instead of clicking into each course, set up automations based on course % completed, see exact videos a student has completed.
Custom Icons Next to Course Name
I have A LOT of courses and I'd like to represent them with custom icons that make it easier to recognize when going through the course list
Course Community Embed for Related Courses and/or Upsell courses
In the new updated courses layout there is an option for community embeds for: channels, events, DMs and match-ups and I wondered if it would be possible to have embeds for other courses that link to related courses in a series or upsell courses
Free Course with paid assignments (e.g. audit option)
Colleges and online community education platforms have a feature for audit the course (for free or lower cost) which will give the student full course access, but not allow submitting assignments for grading.
Make courses searchable
I'd love to see courses be included in results for the search bar! It's such a hassle to scroll through every course.
Course Previews
I'd like for members to be able to click on a course and see a preview video and description. Kind of like in Udemy.
New Courses - Remove Completed From Top Section
Remove Fully Completed Courses From "Pick Up Where You Left Off".
