Ruzuku has always had one focus: “online courses."

Not anymore :)

We’re expanding our vision to include creating and selling simple, focused digital products such as:

The digital products feature is included on our Ruzuku Pro plan.

If you’re on Pro, you can try it out yourself:

You can now search throughout all the content in your course, including:

And on Ruzuku Pro, you can search inside audio and video transcripts — and even the transcripts of your meeting recordings.

To try out the new search, simply click on this icon in your course

Then type your keyword or phrase:

Click on any of the categories to see all the results of that category (for example, all the lessons that match your keyword).

Happy searching!

We've updated the design for creating new courses and products, as well as course templates to help you get started quickly!

We’re excited to share a cool new design capability for your courses…

You can now customize the color of your course theme!

The custom color feature is included only on our Ruzuku Pro plan.

Just in time for last-minute Christmas shopping and New Years’ resolutions…

Customers can now purchase your course as a gift for another person :)

The gift-giving feature is included on all plans.

To try it out for yourself:

You can now issue customizable certificates of completion to your students!

The certificate feature is included on our Ruzuku Pro plan.

Need to find a particular bit of information in a big course? You can now search across any module title or lesson text in your course — instantly. Give it a try by going to "search" (the magnifying glass icon in Student View), or hit the search hotkey while viewing your course: Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac).

We’re excited to announce a long-requested new capability for Ruzuku…

You can now open a custom storefront:

The storefront is included on our Ruzuku Pro plan.

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

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!
