| Thanks for the question. So a pretty big difference from the outset is the type of customer we focus on (again, correct me if Learnworlds is different). Where Learnworlds is focused on creators who want to build courses that are asynchronous. We are focusing on live instruction particularly with businesses that have already been handling live instruction so teams of tutors, trainers, teachers, and coaches. In many ways Learnworlds is quite similar to Kajabi, Teachable, and a whole host of other great tools for building online courses. In our case, we started with thinking about existing businesses where a primary concern is team management as the instruction is live. Coordinating live instruction already requires a pretty different software stack from an online course. In a coaching business of twenty tutors, you have to manage twenty instructor schedules against schedules for your students, figure who is owed what, who you have to bill, and provide space for live online instruction. The last few months, particularly in New York, have made this coordination problem far worse as these businesses look to move online while trying to keep their branding and identity front-and-center. — Now a number of our users have already asked to be able to sell online courses/materials, and we have been experimenting with blending asynchronous online courses with live instruction, so it’s on the roadmap. Right now, however, our focus is uniquely bringing existing businesses with live instruction online. |
