1.0 find. 2.0 try. 3.0 enrol. 4.0 work. 5.0 ask. 6.0 carry it.

The catalogue is open before you have an account.

/universe is public. It lists featured courses, the schools and academies behind them, collections other people have curated, graduates you can follow, and instructors ranked by how many students they actually have. One search bar covers all four at once.

If you would rather describe what you want than browse for it, Odysseus, the platform's dealmaker agent, searches courses, coaches, collections and graduate profiles from a plain sentence and answers with links you can open.

Courses are typed, so you know what you are buying before you read a word of the description: informal, coaching, certification, license, continuing education, compliance, or official.

Read the page, then watch the part that costs nothing.

Every course has a landing page its instructor built: a headline, an intro video, the benefits, a curriculum preview, an FAQ, and reviews. The reviews are worth more than most, because only people who completed the course can leave one, exactly one each, and the instructor's replies sit underneath them in public.

Instructors also set how many opening lessons are free, so you can watch the beginning before paying anything. Pricing is one of three: free, a one-time credit price for lifetime access, or a subscription. Credits are the platform's unit of payment, and one credit is one cent.

Self-paced, or a cohort with a start date.

A self-paced course opens the moment you enrol. A scheduled course runs as a cohort, and cohorts have their own states: open, waitlist only, or closed. Some ask you to apply first, through a form, before a deadline.

Either way, enrolling adds you to the course chat room automatically, with a general channel, an announcements channel, and whatever else the instructor has set up. If the course belongs to a school, you join that school's catalogue at the same time.

Changing your mind later does not erase your work: if a subscription lapses you lose access to the content, but your progress, submissions and test history are kept.

Lessons unlock in the order the instructor meant.

Lessons come in two shapes: classic multimedia, which mixes text, images, video, audio, embedded journal entries and checklists, and video lessons. What you can open next depends on how the course is gated. Some lessons unlock on a day count after enrolment. Some need the previous lesson finished. Some need a test passed. Some need an assignment submitted, or approved, or above a grade you have to reach.

Assignments take written responses, journal entries, photos, video, voice recordings, PDFs and external links, whichever set the instructor enabled. Tests are scored two ways: multiple choice instantly and deterministically, open answers by AI against the rubric the instructor wrote themselves, returning a score out of 100 and feedback naming what was missing.

Correct answers and grading rubrics are stripped server side before a test reaches you, so there is nothing to find by reading the page.

Three different places to be stuck, on purpose.

The discussion thread on each lesson is for conversation about that lesson. Instructor replies wear a shield badge and can be pinned to the top, so the hard question gets answered once and stays answered. The Q and A hub is separate and structured: questions scoped to a lesson, an assignment, the syllabus or the whole course, with upvotes, an accepted answer and a resolved flag you can filter on.

Some lessons also include a check-in that asks how comfortable and how confident you feel about that lesson's topics. Answer low and an Apollo tutoring session opens on those exact topics, carrying the instructor's own notes on what it should cover. And if what you have to say is not for the room, private feedback goes only to the course owner and the active instructors.

Enrolled students can also message the instructor directly from the community tab.

The certificate is a URL, not a screenshot.

Finish the last lesson and a PDF certificate is issued automatically. Your name, the course title, the instructor's name and your final score are snapshotted at that moment, so a later rename of the course cannot alter what you earned. Every certificate has a public verification page anyone can open without logging in.

Your credential profile at /u/your-handle/credentials collects the rest: verified certificates with issue dates, what you are currently studying with progress, everything you have completed, your posts, and a follow button. It carries full Open Graph tags, so it renders properly when you paste it into LinkedIn rather than arriving as a bare link.

Graduates can post to the course's own graduates section, and instructors can write you an exit review: four written sections and an overall impression, shared with you when they are ready.
