Discussion & Q&A

A place to ask, right under the lesson.

Students post questions on the exact lesson they're stuck on. You answer once and everyone who hits the same snag finds it later. Your replies carry an instructor badge, so students always know which answer is the official one.

  • Threaded questions attached to each lesson, kept in context.
  • An instructor badge on your replies so the right answer stands out.
  • Moderation tools to pin the best answers, hide noise, or delete spam.

Comments are single-level — focused on getting an answer, not endless back-and-forth.

Lesson 03 · Pulling walls up

Maya · 2h ago

My walls keep collapsing once they get tall. What am I doing wrong?

YouInstructor

Slow your pull and keep the clay wet. Too much water late on weakens the rim — wring the sponge out first.

Reviews & ratings

Proof that sells the next enrollment.

Students who are enrolled can leave a 5-star review and a few words about the course. You see the average rating and the full breakdown across every star, then decide which reviews to show on the course.

  • Reviews from enrolled students — only people who bought and joined can rate.
  • Average and rating breakdown at a glance, per course.
  • Publish or hide individual reviews — you stay in control of what's shown.

Lifecycle emails

On-brand emails that go out on their own.

The right message arrives at the right moment — automatically, in your colors and your name. You set the course up once; Chapters handles the sending.

Welcome

A friendly hello when a student enrolls, pointing them straight to their first lesson.

Course completion

A congratulations when the last lesson is done — a natural moment to nudge the next course.

Graded assignment

Lets a student know their assignment has been graded and where to see the result.

Drip unlock

Tells students the moment a scheduled chapter or lesson becomes available to them.

Live-class reminders

Reminds students before a scheduled live class so the seats actually fill. See live classes.

They inherit your branding

Every email picks up your portal branding — your logo, colors, and name — so it reads like you sent it, not a generic platform.

Delivery is handled by a transactional email service, so messages land reliably in the inbox.

Push & PWA reminders

A nudge before the live class starts.

Students who install the portal as an app get web-push reminders ahead of a live class — once around 30 minutes before, and again around 5 minutes before. Email covers everyone who hasn't installed, and Chapters won't double up: each student gets reminded one way, not both.

  • Web push for installed students at roughly 30 and 5 minutes before class.
  • Email for everyone else so no student is left without a heads-up.
  • No double-notifying — push and email never fire for the same student.

Student management

Your whole roster, at a glance.

See everyone enrolled in a course alongside how far they've come — progress, lessons completed, last activity, and access status — and step in when someone needs a hand. When you need to add students directly, enroll them in bulk or one at a time.

  • Bulk and manual enrollment for cohorts, comps, or one-off access.
  • Linked to Shopify — each student opens their customer record where you manage contacts.
