The Challenge

Why This Matters

Most course platforms give you a page builder and call it done. You end up spending more time fighting the tool than teaching. What you actually need is a structured course builder that guides your students step by step — with multimedia content, exercises they submit for feedback, and progress tracking that shows you who's engaged and who needs help.

Capabilities

What You Get

Everything included in Ruzuku's course builder

Step-by-Step Lesson Builder

Organize your course into modules and lessons with a clear progression. Each lesson combines text, video, images, audio, and downloadable resources — no plugins or third-party hosting needed.

Built-In Video & Audio Hosting

Upload videos and audio files directly. No YouTube embeds, no Vimeo subscriptions, no external hosting fees. We transcode and stream each video at the right quality for every student's screen and connection — up to 1080p HD, or up to 4K on Pro. Your content lives on your course platform, not someone else's.

Student Exercises & Submissions

Add exercises where students submit written responses, files, or recordings. You review and give feedback directly in the platform. This is what turns passive watching into active learning.

Progress Tracking & Completion

See exactly where each student is in your course. Track lesson completion, exercise submissions, and overall progress. Students see their own progress too — which keeps them moving forward.

Flexible Course Pacing

Run self-paced courses, scheduled cohorts with drip content, or anything in between. Set lessons to unlock on specific dates or let students work at their own speed.

Create student exercises

Set your pace and schedule

Choose self-paced access or scheduled drip release. Set your start date, enrollment window, and completion timeline.

Launch and teach

Publish your course, invite students, and start teaching. Track progress, give feedback on exercises, and engage through the built-in community.

“I was so frustrated with platforms that made me feel like I needed to be a web developer. Ruzuku just lets me focus on what I actually care about — teaching.”

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need technical skills to build a course on Ruzuku?

No. If you can write an email and upload a file, you can build a course. The lesson editor works like a document — type text, add media, create exercises. No coding, no page builders, no design decisions required.

Can I host my own videos on Ruzuku?

Yes. Upload videos directly to your course — no external hosting service needed. Your videos are stored securely and streamed to students without ads or distractions, with adaptive quality up to 1080p HD (or up to 4K on Pro).

How is Ruzuku different from Teachable or Kajabi?

Ruzuku is designed for teaching, not just content delivery. Built-in exercises with instructor feedback, community discussions per lesson, and progress tracking are core features — not add-ons. Plus: zero transaction fees and unlimited courses on every plan.

Can I run both self-paced and live cohort courses?

Yes. Set lessons to be always available (self-paced) or drip on a schedule (cohort). Many creators run both formats simultaneously — a self-paced version for on-demand access and live cohorts with group sessions.
