Everything a course site needs

Every feature on this page is live. Nothing here is a roadmap.

Building courses

  • Modules and lessons. Chapters and the lessons inside them. Move either up or down, rename a module, and edit a lesson after adding it.
  • Four lesson types. Text, embedded video, PDF, and an assignment learners hand in. A live class is a separate item placed in a module. How to record a lesson on your phone.
  • Assignments. A lesson where learners hand in written work, up to five files, or both. You mark it out of a number you set on the Marking page, with written feedback, and can require the mark before the course counts as finished.
  • Live classes. Set the date, time (IST) and length; paste your Meet, Zoom or Teams link once. One room serves every class in a repeating run: you never create another meeting or send an invitation yourself. Everyone enrolled is invited by email with a calendar entry, joins through a button on your site that opens fifteen minutes before, and you see who joined. The pricing page says which plans include live classes and which sell them as an add-on.
  • Repeating classes. Every Tuesday and Thursday at six, until December or until you stop it. One link, one rule; each class gets its own joined list, and you can move or cancel one without touching the rest.
  • Quizzes. Pass mark, optional time limit, attempt limit, shuffled questions. Mark a quiz as required to complete the course.
  • Ten kinds of question. Multiple choice, true or false, tick all that apply, fill in the blank, a number with a tolerance, put in order, matching, a dropdown in a sentence — all marked the moment the quiz is submitted — and a short written answer or an essay with a word limit, marked by you.
  • Marking by hand. Written answers wait on one page, and you are notified the moment they are submitted, with the learner's words, the word count and your model answer beside a score box. Save once; the score, the pass, the certificate and a notification to the learner follow.
  • Video checkpoints. Pause a video at a chosen moment and ask a question before it continues — any kind the machine marks. On the plans that include it; the pricing page says which.
  • Release lessons over time. A lesson can open so many days after each learner enrols, or from a date. Locked lessons show in the outline with the day they open. On the plans that include it; the pricing page says which.
  • Draft and publish. Build in private. Publish when ready. A course needs one lesson to go live. Or make it unlisted: out of your catalogue and the Marketplace, open to anyone you give the link to. Unpublish or archive a course and everyone already on it keeps it; a course nobody has ever enrolled in can be deleted.
  • Private courses. A course only the groups and people you choose can reach — everybody else gets nothing at all, link or no link. Unlisted is not this. The list decides who can join: anybody already enrolled keeps the course, so reorganising your groups never takes away something a learner paid for. Somebody refunded in full, or who leaves the site, loses the course until you name them again.

Selling

  • Price per course. Set a rupee amount, or leave it blank for free. A learner pays once and keeps it.
  • Membership. Or charge one monthly price instead, and mark each course Free or Members only — a site charges one way, and switching never takes away what anyone paid for. Members can turn on auto-renew with a card or UPI; a lapsed membership closes its courses until the member pays again. When you raise the price, existing members keep the old one for one to twelve months, as you choose.
  • Discounts and coupons. Percentage or a fixed amount off, with an optional cap. Applies to all courses, chosen ones, a collection or your membership, with start and end dates. Add a code for a coupon, or leave it blank for an automatic sale price. Cap the total uses, limit to first-time buyers, to members, or to people you name, or to one use per person.
  • Straight to your bank. Razorpay routes payments to your account. RacingOwl takes no cut and never holds your money.
  • Learners outside India. A learner abroad pays on your site with a card issued where they live. Your price stays in rupees and the money reaches your bank in rupees. Auto-renew works on these cards too.
  • Paid, even if they close the tab. A payment is confirmed by Razorpay's own message and a later check, not only by the learner's browser coming back, so nobody pays and goes without the course.
  • Refunds, from your own page. Full or partial, by the site's owner, from a course payment or a membership month on Earnings. Razorpay returns the money the way it came, a credit note is emailed to the learner, and your books stay straight. A full refund ends access; a finished course stays finished. Launch offer: RacingOwl pays Razorpay's fee on every refund you issue until 19 April 2027; from 20 April 2027 that fee is yours.

Knowing your learners

  • Learner list. Everyone who has joined, sortable by name, join date, enrolments, progress, completions and activity.
  • Drop-off chart. Where in each course learners stop. The signal to shorten a module or add a checkpoint.
  • Dashboard. Enrolments, earnings and certificates for the period you choose; charts of enrolments, completions and drop-off; your next live classes; recent enrolments.
  • Earnings. This week, month, year, all time, net of refunds. Full payment history with course and coupon, and every receipt and credit note with its PDF and a CSV for the period.
  • Email your learners. One message to everyone who has joined, or to one course's learners, from your site's name with your reply address. Three a day, plain text, with a history of what you sent.
  • Invite the class you already teach. Paste their email addresses, add a line of your own, and each person gets a message that reads as coming from you, with your address for replies. No account is made for anybody until they follow the link and choose a password. A list of who has not joined yet, so you know who to chase.
  • Groups. Your own filing — a Tuesday class, a beginners group, this year's batch. Learners never see one. Use a group to give a whole class a private course, to invite a whole class at once, or to record that a whole class has already paid you.
  • Money you took yourself. On a membership site, moving a class across mid-month? Record that they are paid up to a date and RacingOwl asks them for nothing until the day after. A whole group in one go. It is kept out of your earnings and raises no receipt, because that money never came through RacingOwl.

Community

  • Course discussions. One running conversation per course. Open to everyone, to buyers, or to people who have finished the course. Anyone can edit or delete their own post, and follow it with Notify me of new replies. Mark the accepted answer under a question. Close it whenever you like.
  • Topics. Site-wide announcements and threads for your whole learner base. Pin and close.
  • Ratings and reviews. Only learners who finished the course can review it. Sort by newest, highest, lowest or most helpful. One public response per review. Hide a review if it needs hiding.

Certificates

  • Automatic issue. Leave “Awards a certificate” on, and every completion — every lesson done and every required quiz passed — produces a PDF with the learner’s name, your site’s name, the course and a serial number. The learner is emailed that they have finished, with the certificate attached as a PDF, can download it again from My learning on racingowl.com, and can add it to LinkedIn in one press. Switch it off for a course that should not award one.
  • Sixteen designs. Pick the border your certificates are printed on under Settings — classic, botanical, science, music, playful and more — and see a sample with your own logo and name before you choose. Change it any time; every certificate downloaded from then on, including ones earned earlier, comes in the new design.
  • Anyone can check one. Each certificate carries a serial that an employer or an interviewer can verify at racingowl.com/verify.

Add-ons

  • Virtual classes. Live classes over Meet, Zoom or Teams, one-off or repeating. The pricing page says which plans include them and what they cost on the others.
  • WhatsApp alerts. A short set of messages to your learners from RacingOwl’s verified business number, in your site’s name: a receipt, a failed-payment note, a membership reminder, and a nudge an hour before a live class. A bundle a month, sized by plan; beyond it each extra message is a small charge added in arrears, up to three times the bundle, after which sending pauses until the next period.
  • Chats. One private chat between each learner and your site, answered from one inbox. The pricing page says which plans include chats and which sell them as an add-on.

Your site, your brand

  • Your address. yourname.racingowl.com.
  • Logo and colours. Upload a logo; pick from a contrast-checked colour set so text is always readable.
  • Instructor profile. Photo, bio, qualifications, years of experience. Shown on every course page.
  • Data separation. Your site’s data is separated from every other site at the database level.
  • Refer a trainer, get a month free. Share your own link, on Manage → Your RacingOwl plan. The trainer who signs up through it gets 30 extra days on top of the free trial on offer; you get a month free on your plan only once their trial has ended and they stay on. The conditions.

Safety

  • Notifications. Emails when somebody signs up, enrols or pays, and a morning summary of work to mark and learners who finished. Handed-in work, finished courses, replies, reviews, reports and chat messages arrive in the bell and, once switched on, on your phone. Learners get welcome, enrolment and completion emails.
  • Moderation. You control who can post. An automatic filter reads posts, chats, reviews and a course's own words, holds dangerous or illegal content for review across all of RacingOwl, tells you when it holds or flags something, and you can release a post it held by mistake. Anyone can flag a post, review or course.

For learners

  • One account, every site. A learner signs up once and it works on every RacingOwl site.
  • My Learning. Courses, action items, certificates, discussions, chats and notifications in one place.
  • Marketplace. Search across every published course by subject, level, language, city, price, length, certificate and rating.
  • Live classes. Every upcoming class across a learner's courses on a site, on one page, next first, with a Join button that opens fifteen minutes before.
  • An app without an app store. Two taps put RacingOwl on a learner's home screen: an icon and full screen. No download, no permissions to accept, no way to reach photos, contacts or files. Added from racingowl.com, one icon opens every site a learner studies with, and notifications arrive once the learner switches them on. Trainers install nothing at all.
  • Their account is theirs. A learner can leave any site from their own profile (a membership there ends with it, with no refund), download a copy of everything RacingOwl holds about them, or delete their RacingOwl account altogether — every site at once, name and details removed, receipts and certificates kept as the law requires.
