Build and share interactive digital workbooks. Use on its own or integrate with an existing LMS to provide an engaging, interactive learning experience that can be retained by your students.
Hey folks π! Long time Product Hunt supporter, first time maker.
Today I'm stoked to share with you Wobo, a product that our team at Course Studio has been working hard to bring to life. To celebrate our launch, weβve created a public Wobo workbook on How to Nail a Product Hunt Launch. Meta, right?
Now, some context:
Course Studio is a product agency focused on helping course creators. Our team has built course and membership products for some of the worldβs top creators and organizations . The more weβve worked with leading course platforms, the more weβve realized their strengths, and shortcomings.
For example, course platforms do a great job of delivering sequenced video content and quizzes to students. They primarily push information, and when they do ask for student input, itβs usually so that the student can be βtestedβ.
What the platforms donβt do well is enable students to take notes, journal, collaborate, and reflect on learning material.
These are all features of a tool most of us use in the physical world daily: Workbooks.
And as far as we can tell...
No one has ever built the digital version of this.
But lots of people try to stitch together off-the-shelf tools, like...
π«PDFs
A jurassic file format created in (gasps) 1993. Making fillable PDFs takes forever. Theyβre flat files that donβt give you any insight into whatβs engaging to your users. PDFs are pain incarnate on mobile, too.
π« Google docs
If itβs sent write-only, any formatting you make to the document is easily broken. Especially if you want to send branded documents, this is painful. If itβs read-only, it canβt be revised at all. If you want to add or edit to your Google doc after itβs created β good luck. Once a Google doc is sent to users, thereβs no editing a master file to make an edit or add material to your student workbook.
π« JotForm, Typeform, and other form software
These products are designed to intake information. User responses arenβt saved and available to be revisited, nor can these tools enable a Course Creator and their student to engage in lesson material.
Wobo exists to address all of these issues and resurrect the workbook to enhanced digital greatness.
To do this, weβve taken all the features of the analogue workbook; a place to take notes, reflect, set and revisit goals.
And weβve enhanced it with digital features, like:
β A growing list of interactive sections
Things like fill-in-the-blank, flexible tables to communicate visually, question & answer, slider scales, and more.
β Flexible workbook design editor
This makes designing Wobos a breeze, sort of like Canva. In just a few clicks you can make a workbook thatβs on-brand and professional. No graphic designer required.
β Integrate with your platform or send to your students via the dashboard
You can integrate Wobo with your course platform via a seamless integration, or send your Wobo to your users via our admin dashboard. If you want to edit or add sections to your Wobo after it's sent, no stress. You can do so through the dashboard editor.
β Students uploads
Students can upload doodles and drawings as images for themselves to revisit later, or for their instructor to react to.
β Download to PDF
For the traditionalists, yes, thereβs an option to design and download your Wobo to PDF too.
β¨Coming soonβ¨
Users can collaborate with your instructor, just like in a Google Document.
Wobo is used by hundreds of users all over the world. About 80% of our customers use Wobo integrated in their LMS, but thereβs a growing segment of folks using it for all sorts of ways we never expected, likeβ¦
- Personal coaching
- Business planning
- Product Hunt planning π
- Faith-based organizations
- High schools and universities
And more!
Our goal is to make the best workbook tool on the internet, whether youβre a course creator or someone who wants to create and leverage digital documents in unique ways we never expected.
This tool is powered by user insights, so if you have feedback, thoughts, and suggestions - weβd love to hear them.

Congrats on the launch!!! This looks amazing and it's so cool to see more come out from your team.
When did you realize you wanted to wanted to build a SaaS tool alongside your services business? Any interesting insights from the process so far?
@jkaplan1 Definitely a nuanced topic, but when the value creation felt too good to pass up, we dove in. So much time using underwhelming alternatives pushed us over the edge.
Report
Great product! Interesting to think about the different use cases it can open up. Our team has started using it internally instead of surveys in some cases since it allows people to go back and change their answers π€π
