At Ruzuku, we’re all about helping you connect with your course participants & build community :)

We’ve got something new to help you with that -

You can tag your participants — and they can tag each other — to help start conversations in your course.

This works like tagging you’ve used on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other sites.

Here’s a peek:

I’ll @mention Miriam in a post:

Discussions and community are core to the learning experience on Ruzuku. So we’re really happy to announce our new course-wide discussion forums. This new forum complements and extends the lesson-specific discussion prompts which you’ve already been using in Ruzuku. Here’s how the forum looks:

As the Guide of your course, you can create as many different custom categories for your forum as you like. For instance, you might create categories for course materials, assignments, general questions, or anything else you choose. This will help keep your course discussions organized and easy to navigate for your students. Here’s the category editor:

The course-wide forum is designed to make it easier for you to foster a sense of community within your courses, encourage collaboration and engagement, and help your students to learn from each other. We hope you try it in your courses soon, and would love to hear your thoughts & suggestions!

What’s better than offering a single online course for sale?

Putting together an entire bundle!

And that’s exactly what you can do with Ruzuku’s new “course bundles” feature.

Just go to “My Bundles” in your account — here’s a quick walkthrough:

Once you’ve got a bundle set up, you can offer it for free, or as a paid package.

And if you set up a subscription price point for the bundle, you can offer it as a membership — your customers will pay a recurring monthly or annual fee for access to the library of courses you provide in the bundle.

Most online courses are offered with “lifetime access” — students sign up and have access to the course content & community indefinitely.

But sometimes, it makes more sense to offer access only for a limited period of time: say, 6 months, or a year.

For example, you might sell your course as a half-year program, with access to the coaching and content ending after that time period.

We now support this type of course access with Ruzuku’s “access limits” feature. Here’s a quick walkthrough:

We know that a well-designed, engaging sales page is critical to the success of your courses. Our new sales page template and editor make it easy for you to craft a sales page you love.

Here’s an example of a real, live sales page from one of our courses.
