⚡ Online Course Platforms
Online course platforms are software systems that enable the creation, delivery, and management of educational content online.
They generally fall into two classes: marketplace platforms, which aggregate courses from many instructors and provide access to a built-in audience, and cloud-based platforms, which permit creators to host courses using their own branding and custom domains.
Such platforms typically include tools for multimedia lesson delivery (video, text, quizzes), progress tracking and assessment, integrations with payment systems, forums and discussions, analytics on learner engagement, and course certificates.
