What Your Students Experience

Everything your students see is your academy: your name, your logo, your colors, your subdomain. This page walks through what that experience feels like from their side so you know exactly what you are handing them. It covers the dashboard they land on, the lesson viewer they learn in, the study tools they collect along the way, and the finish line when they complete a course. For who can see what (open signup, invitations, paid courses), see Access and Progress. For the optional study helper, see the Learning Assistant.

​

Light and dark appearance

You choose the academy-wide appearance under Customize → Colors. Set it to Light, Dark, or System. System follows each student’s device preference. Students do not change this setting inside the academy, so upload both a normal logo and a dark-mode logo if your brand needs different artwork on dark backgrounds.

​

My Learning dashboard

My Learning is the student’s home base. It groups their enrolled courses into In Progress and Completed, each shown as a course card with a progress count. Any certificates they have earned appear in a Certificates section lower on the same page. At the top, when a student has started but not finished a course, a Continue learning banner highlights the course they are partway through, names the next lesson (“Up next: …”), shows a progress ring, and gives them a single Continue button straight to that lesson. It points at the first lesson they have not yet completed, so a returning student is one click from where they left off.

​

The course catalog

The catalog shows your courses grouped by your collections. When you sell through offers, it grows two extra shelves: one with cards for offers the student could buy (bundles and the Academy Pass link to their product pages), and Your access, listing the offers they already hold. On a locked course’s page, students see the ways in: a buy button, a comparison of the offers that cover it, or a note that access is managed by the academy when there is nothing to buy.

​

The course viewer

Inside a course, students read lessons in a focused viewer.

​

How lessons get marked complete

Students do not have to hunt for a button. A lesson is marked complete automatically in two ways: The course-level progress bar in the sidebar updates as lessons are completed, and that same progress is what drives the Continue banner and the course cards on My Learning.

​

In-lesson study tools

While reading, students get a small toolbar for capturing what matters. Everything they save is private to them.

​

The Saved page

All of the above is gathered in one place: a page labeled Saved in the student navigation. It reads as a single workbook stream of their bookmarks, notes, highlights, and reflection answers, each linking back to the lesson it came from. Items tied to a course the student no longer has access to are quietly dropped, so the workbook stays clean.

​

Achievements and collectible cards

The Achievements page turns finishing a course into something tangible. Every course in your academy has its own collectible card:

• Courses the student has completed show their earned card, personalized with the student’s name, the course title, lesson count, total minutes, and completion date, all on your academy branding.
• Courses they have not finished show a locked placeholder card, so students can see the full set there is to collect.

The page header tracks the count, for example “You’ve collected 3 of 12 course cards.” Earned certificates also surface here in a Certificates section.

​

Certificates

When a course is set up to issue a certificate, completing it generates one for the student. Certificates appear on My Learning, on the Achievements page, and on the student’s profile, each linking to a public verification page. Students can download the certificate as a PDF. For how you turn certificates on and what they contain, see Certificates.

​

The completion moment

Finishing a course drops the student onto a celebratory completion screen: “Well done, [name]!”, the course title, and their collectible card. From here they can: A quiet Back to My Learning link rounds out the page.

​

Student account and Purchases

Students get a profile page (their name, avatar, a preview of their achievements, and certificates) and an account area for your academy.

• Purchases lists everything the student has bought, whether a single course, a bundle, or the Academy Pass, each with its status, the date and amount, an invoice number when present, an Invoice PDF button, and a View receipt link. If a student holds a recurring offer, its subscription appears here too, with the price and renewal date. They can cancel it themselves (access runs to the end of the paid period) and resume it before it ends, without contacting you. Students who have not bought anything see an empty state.
• Account lets a student leave your academy. Leaving is confirmation-gated (they type their email) and only removes them from this academy; their underlying account and any other academies they belong to are untouched, and their progress is kept in case you invite them back.

​

Guest browsing on open academies

On an open (non-invite) academy, a visitor without an account is not slammed into a login wall. They can browse the course catalog and individual course pages, and they can look at the My Learning, Achievements, and Saved sections too. Instead of personal data, those sections render a clean sign-in nudge (“Your courses live here”, “Start your collection”, “Build your personal workbook”) with Sign up free and Sign in buttons. This means a shared academy link shows off a real, branded product, what there is to learn and what there is to earn, before anyone commits to an account.
