You should definitely add some short video or other type of media to quickly showcase the whole process.

This is absolutely something we're working on right now. Both a 'how to make a coursecraft course' course, and a landing page video are the first things on our mind. Thanks!

"How to make a coursecraft course" course. This would be gold.

Sidenote -- the draft -> publish mechanism is very unintuitive.

You know, we had some internal struggles with that. We originally were going for a bunch of scheduling vs manual publishing options and it got really complicated.

Can you clarify what about it is unintuitive to you? Should there maybe be a way to publish right on the lesson edit page? There is a help doc on 'different ways to run a course' that suggest how you might use that option (https://www.coursecraft.net/help/running-a-course).

Thanks!

Why can't you just follow the Wordpress model? They do it all right.

Interesting. I haven't used wordpress much myself, but you're right it's likely pretty well understood by most. I'll look into it.

Yes check out that or Blogspot. Their method of Draft->Preview in a lifecycle is more or less what people expect IMO, and also scheduling (you can schedule blog posts to be published at certain times).
