How to view your platform as a student
Congratulations, you have successfully set up your platform and uploaded your courses. Now, you may be wondering how your platform would look to your students.
In this platform, I will be walking you through what your platform looks like to a student.
Step 1: Sign in to your platform
Log out of your platform as an admin and sign in with a different email address.
You can either make use of the general email address and password or Google.
PS When your students use Google, their names are automatically saved on your platform, so this is recommended. It also makes it easy for subsequent logins.
Step 2: View your courses
This helps for user experience, as you will know what your students are seeing on their end and how best to improve their learning experience.
To do this, click courses => and view course.
You can also watch your courses, take the quizzes and assignments and download your certificate.
This way, you get to experience what you want to give your students and decide if it is accessible and easy to use.
Step 3: Search for lessons
With the All Lessons button, your students can search for your lessons and take them as they are arranged. This is only possible when they have subscribed to all your courses.
Step 4: The subscription tab
When you activate Stripe and enable the subscription tab, your students can subscribe to your courses, as individuals and even as a team.
Step 5: Contact the instructor
With this button, your students can send you emails in case they need to ask you some things.
Note that they are to include their email addresses so that you can send them a reply.
Step 6: Subscribe to a newsletter
Your students can also subscribe to your newsletter, and they will get weekly updates from you. This is if you have set up your newsletter and enabled it as an admin.
Step 7: Settings of a student => My Account
Under this, your students can make some modifications to their accounts.
=> Change their name.
=> Upload/Change their profile picture.
=> Unsubscribe from the newsletter.
=> Choose their preferred language.
=> Change, upgrade, or downgrade their subscription.
=> Change their credit card information.
Please note that your students cannot change or update their sign-up email addresses.
Step 8: Settings of a Student => My Certificates
Here, your students can see all the courses you have created that have certificates. They can also get their certificate badges for courses they have completed, under this screen.
To hide this screen, in case you do not plan to offer certificates for your courses, kindly login to your account => click Admin => General Settings => Disable My Certificates Screen => and Save Changes.
