The way that you teach — what you bring to it — is up to you.
How we help you
We offer plenty of resources on how to create your first course. And, our instructor dashboard and curriculum pages help keep you organized.
Use basic tools like a smartphone or a DSLR camera. Add a good microphone and you’re ready to start.
If you don’t like being on camera, just capture your screen. Either way, we recommend two hours or more of video for a paid course.
