Doacourse

Easy to create online courses

When: 2013
Stack: Ruby, JavaScript, Padrino, MongoDB, Heroku

One of two hacks at Do Lectures 2013.

A very simple online course builder that let people make a landing page for a course starting on a given date, build a series of pages (with embedded content and downloads), take payments and run the course over time.

Participants received a daily/weekly/monthly email as each piece of content was released, and because they were doing it simultaneously with others, there was value in linking off to a Facebook group for group conversation.
