Hey all, Myself along with @ZackGilbert and @JasonDoesStuff have created a new software product for course makers. It's based off a pain both Jason and I had with making online courses and how the solutions for student workbooks kind of... well... sucked. PDFs take too long to make into fillable pages, Google Docs can be branded but students can easily accidentally delete that branding (and even the questions). So we made this. You can watch the teacher video to see how it works from a teacher's point of view or actually use a working WorkBook on our homepage (to see how it works for a student). We hope you enjoy! Paul. PS: We're also hosting a live, online event today if you want to chat with the founders or learn more about creating courses: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/ofcou...

Congrats! Hope to see more EdTech products coming onto Product Hunt. The pricing plan seems to be for commercial training courses? Is there trial period for teachers? I've only watched the demo, but a few things that seems to be missing is the grading functions and more analytics to view one student or all students' overall progress across workbooks. In the past I've used Google Form to collect feedback from students or Canvas LMS to manage assignment submission. But this seems to be versatile that could be embedded in all kinds of platforms.

@randomor Currently it's for commercial courses mostly. Since it's a note-taking app, we didn't want to add grading, since teachers don't typically "grade" the private notes of their students.

I bought the early beta and I'm really impressed! This is exactly what's been missing from my current courses.

Having designed online courses and worked with a couple of online training companies, I've seen how challenging and time-consuming it can be to interact with students. Instructors either tend to go too far and are practically on call all the time, or don't interact with students enough because of the significant time drain. ofCourseBooks solves a big pain here because it provides a simple and sustainable way to interact with students. While providing a good reason for students to participate—getting help and having a record of their work. Really love this, and hope I get an excuse to use it. Nice work fellas!
