@rrhoover the landing page is unusable on an iPad. Which is a shame, it doesn't fill me with confidence about the care for usability and accessibility in the product.
@drcongo Hi Andy, sorry about that! We're about to deploy a few fixes for the issues you're experiencing on your iPad. I can assure you that the web app itself works great on the iPad, we just have more work to do on this announcement page. Thanks for chiming in!
Thanks for sharing, Matthew.
Hello everyone, I’m one of the Cofounders and Lead Developer for Pathwright. Four years ago, before Udemy, Skillshare, MOOCs, or iTunesU existed, we launched Pathwright to enable anyone to teach and sell online courses under their own brand. Since then, online courses have become mainstream and our team has grown 3X, bootstrapping the whole way.
Now we’re very excited to announce Pathwright 2. It’s a totally different approach to learning compared to traditional “Learner Management Systems” (LMS) or the newer category of course-authoring/commerce platforms.
A few notable differences to check out in Pathwright 2:
* It's all about the people: With Pathwright 2, our primary goal was to put people first on every screen.
* More like an app than a website: Learning and teaching is an active process (like an app) not just a passive experience of consumption (like a website or shopping catalog). Pathwright 2 works more like an app and on any screen size.
* Radar: As a teacher, you can literally see where everyone is in your learning path.
* Community: We built discussion features designed specifically for learning and teaching, not just a tacked on forum or comment stream.
* Environment: There’s something about a beautiful campus or library that creates a desire to learn in itself. Unfortunately most education software is boring and generic. Our goal with Pathwright 2 was to create a uniquely beautiful learning experience that also gives a unique sense of place and wonder to every learning experience.
* Create projects, assessments, sell subscriptions, and so much more...
I and my other cofounder (and evil twin) @paul_johnson are here to answer any of your questions!
P.S. bonus points to whoever can find the easter eggs 😉
Wow, this is one of those few products that I can't help but comment on. Excellent work with the landing page and product 😍 I will definitely be adding this to my arsenal. This will make creating educational content enjoyable and painless.
@wmdmark no, thank you for the amazing product! 👏🏻 I already registered my school and will begin setting up my first course this afternoon. I'll make sure to supply any feedback I have while using it 😸
The landing page is not just a great parallax example, it explains the product features in a fun way. The idea is great and offers a different perspective for learning for learners and teachers. Good job!! I'll try it
Great looking product. Sorry to barge in but I wanted to check if you guys have any discounting for non-profits? I manage tech for an non-profit based out of India Protsahan.co.in We are looking to build learning courses for the kids who work with us.
This product has a fantastic UI. I'm curious what direction they plan on going with this product, there seems to be a lot of potential here. I'm also curious how learning science will impact the course developer options.
@misterbajor Thank you! Our plan is to continue to make Pathwright the education tool of choice for thoughtful, creative educators of all types. To do that, understanding and adapting to the science and art of teaching is essential. Half of our team are current or former teachers (from K12 - university level) and we're fortunate to have customers who are some of the most thoughtful, creative educators out there.
Congrats on part 2! I love this new approach.
While seeking out a course builder or online school builder there are more than a few out there from self-hosted and built with WordPress to other similar to Pathwright like Teachable where everything is all-in-one kind of like a Squarespace experience. Problem is that I truly do care about the people (been in customer support for more than 4 years) and all of them seemed filled with features that focused on building the school or course and less on what goes on inside.
That is until now with Pathwright 2! I just signed up and look forward to putting together a few courses.
@byderekj Hi Derek, thanks so much for the kind words. We're making Pathwright exactly for people like you who want to teach *people* not just publish a bunch of passive content to make passive income. Many of our educators make a very good living teaching but those also seem to be the ones that care the most about who they're teaching.
Thanks. So I started my publishing my online courses on Brand Storytelling on Udemy; frustrated with their extreme discounting of my courses, I moved all the courses to Teachable; then pulled them from there an moved to Thinkific as it offers everything from pricing control to instant payment to course control. So can you please share with us what Pathwright 2 might offer that would make me consider it versus Thinkfic? Thank you.
@kevin_mcintosh wow, sounds like a frustrating experience Kevin, I'm sorry you've gone through all that. Pathwright is focused primarily on creating a personal, fun, and deep learning and teaching experience. We're aiming to create the best tool for thoughtful, creative educators whether they're selling courses or not. From my point of view, the services you mentioned are more focused on helping people who want to publish a course and make money with it in a more passive way than what is traditionally called "teaching." We'd think of that as more authoring/publishing which is great, but not primarily where we're headed. While we have many educators (and big brands like Allrecipes Cooking School) who make lots of money on Pathwright, I think that's more of a by-product of how well they teach and how well they communicate the value of what they're teaching publicly than the platform they're on.
