The Learning Experience on Your Steppit Course

You’ve put a load of work into planning, creating and filming your online course. You’ve found the right class type for your grand master plan. And you’re almost ready to go with marketing it and welcoming people into your online course world.

Well if you are at that point, you deserve a pat on the back and a half! If not, we know you will get there! Along the journey, wherever you are, perhaps you’re wondering ‘what is the course going to look and feel like for your users?’ Good question!

Let’s go through the full journey a typical learner will take when they experience your course. In this example, we’re going to show you what it’s like for a learner to purchase their place and take person in a ‘Personal’ type class (read more about our different class types here).

Enrolling on your course 

Here’s the full journey your students will take if they’re enrolling your course:

1. They view your public course page, and click ‘Enroll Now’
2. This will take them to a checkout page, where they will enter their email address, select their class (which date they would like to start the course) and make their payment.
3. They will then receive a purchase receipt email and a separate course welcome email, which includes a ‘Complete Signup’ button to use so they can finish registering their Steppit account to access the course when it starts.

Viewing your course content 

Your learners will start their course on the class start date. They’ll gain access to the course content, and can access it with these steps:

1. They’ll go to ‘My Classes’ to open their course

2. Click on ‘Browse Course’ > expand a unit 

   

3. Click on a session to open it and begin following along with your step-by-step guide

   

Engaging in the class

Learners can navigate to the ‘My Class’ tab in their course to find a host of features to communicate with you, their mentor, and the rest of their classmates.

Posting to the class

When they reach the end of one of your sessions, they’ll be prompted to post about their progress, which gets shared with you and the rest of the class. You and their fellow classmates can leave comments, give it a ‘like’ and show your support for their active participation!

Messaging the class

As a class ‘mentor’, you can direct-message your students. When they receive a message from you, they’ll get a new notification (where their ‘Inbox’ will display red).

Some classes have ‘Class Discussion’ group chats, where all the students in the class can chat with one another, and this is where you can broadcast useful information to your whole class by sending them a message.

Earning a certificate

Once your students have completed your course and reached the end of every teaching session, they will automatically receive a certificate of completion.

They’ll get notified via a very exciting congratulatory email, with a PDF certificate included! 

Students can also access their certificate at any time by heading to the ‘Certificate’ tab with their course.
