Course materials

The document you distribute to learners

Course materials aren't finished at distribution. If you don't know how far people read or which unit stalled them, you can't fix the next lecture. Layer lecture videos onto the material and distribute it as a link, and per-learner stay time and average completion accumulate on their own. Revise the material and the link stays — no redistribution.

    Layer lecture videos on the pages that need explanation, and place page-jump areas to skip between units.

  3. 03 Distribute the link

    LMS, messenger, email — the same link works everywhere, and learners open it with nothing to install.

  4. 04 Fix the curriculum with completion data

    Per-unit stay time and average completion show what to reinforce. Revise the material; the link stays.

Key features

Course materials: the features at work

The features actually used when sending this document. Each links into the features page, and what each plan includes is on the pricing page.

Lecture video embeds

Layer video (direct upload or YouTube/Vimeo), GIFs, and widget embeds onto the material. Autoplay, loop, and mute are each adjustable, and playback happens in the web viewer. Switch on the QR option and downloaded PDFs carry a QR code in each spot, so even printed handouts lead to the videos.

Page-jump buttons

Lay click areas over the document that jump to a chosen page. Put per-unit jump buttons on the table of contents and even long materials navigate instantly. Page jumps work in the web viewer and in downloaded PDFs alike.

Completion & per-unit stay

Average completion, per-page stay time, and return-visit share together reveal which unit loses learners and which pages get re-read.

Revise behind the same link

Typo fixes or a curriculum overhaul — just upload the new PDF. Links already distributed show the latest material, and you can roll back to a previous version instantly.

Learners only

Limit opening with an email allow list or a password, and let an expiration close the link when the course ends. Issuing separate links per cohort keeps things tidy.

Course bundles

Bundle each lecture's material links into one data room and hand it over like a course page. Every link keeps its own password and expiration settings.

FAQ

Course materials — check before you send

Can I see how far learners read?

Average completion and per-page stay time cover the group. Distribute per-recipient links or the info-required link and you can see it per learner too.

Is a table of contents generated automatically?

There's no auto-TOC. Instead, lay NAV (page-jump) areas on your table of contents page and you get click buttons that skip to each unit.

Do I re-send the material after a revision?

No. Upload the updated PDF and the distributed link shows the latest material. A version upload uses one of your monthly uploads.
