Using Discourse as Learning Platform

Hi there,

I plan to unify these two places Kajabi (as a video platform for my courses) and Notion (as a wiki/knowledge base).

Discourse as Kajabi replacement.
My courses follow quite a rigid scheme:
6 modules x 6 lessons x 10 mins = 6 hours total.

So there’s no need for features like keeping the video progress, etc.

I plan to have a separate category for each course and then each lesson as a separate thread.

Videos will be stored externally, on bunny.net

My Challenge:

  • To enable students to comment on each lesson (in terms of discussing, supporting each other in the tasks, sharing experiences - this is not a regular watch-and-forget course) I would make it a regular thread, but this way anyone who watches the particular lesson in that thread will see it as “unread” every time someone posts a comment.
  • Is there a way to overcome that?
  • I was thinking of something like having one read-only category for lessons and second one for commenting on them.

But I then I thought I’ll ask you guys here, as you may have way better solutions already figured out.

Any feedback is appreciated!
