Example online course

Build a course around the way you teach

Organize your material into chapters and lessons. Combine video, audio, written explanations, images, and downloadable resources so students can watch a demonstration, review the method, and put it into practice. Start with one focused course and expand your catalogue as you learn what students need.

Help students put their learning to work

Add exams to check understanding and use course comments to discuss the material. On Scale, release content gradually with dripping and issue completion certificates. A consultant can teach a repeatable framework; a sports coach can demonstrate a technique students practise between sessions.

Choose how to sell your expertise

Set a price for an individual course or include access in a membership. Connect Stripe or PayPal for checkout and manage customers alongside your products. You can also sell guides and coaching sessions for students who want resources or individual help beyond the lessons.
