Steps and Milestones
SchoolMaker lets you add clear step by step actions under each lesson. Instead of simply clicking play your students will know exactly what to do next. A step can be as simple as ticking a checkbox or as advanced as submitting a written answer uploading a file or completing a quiz question.
Those inputs appear right in the student’s profile so you can see who is moving forward and who might need a nudge. Milestones highlight major achievements like finishing a module mastering a technique or hitting a personal goal. Each time a learner logs in they are reminded of the next milestone on their path. This constant focus on progress turns courses into journeys students can track and celebrate.
You also have the freedom to bring in videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, or Loom easily, or to simply use the native video upload system.
Corrections and Personal Feedback
Learners thrive on guidance tailored to their work. With SchoolMaker you can review every student submission whether it is a short reflection a creative project or a quiz answer. Add private comments or corrections inline so the student sees exactly what to improve.
If a student needs extra encouragement you can message them directly in the platform. Private messages keep feedback personal and timely without forcing students to hunt you down in email. This one on one attention builds trust boosts confidence and keeps motivation high.
You can even use the Zapier or Make integrations to create a private message conversation with a member after they complete a step in the school for example.
You can also connect with external checkout systems via Zapier, Make, or through native integrations with platforms like ThriveCart. This flexibility ensures that you can build your sales funnel according to your specific business needs while delivering a seamless experience to your students.
And if you have even more specific needs, you can also add custom code to your school to personalize it even more.

Community and Friendly Competition
An interactive course is also a social one. SchoolMaker includes a built in community space without the distractions of generic chat apps. Students can post reflections ask questions and react to each other’s work in topic based channels. You control access by group topic or session so every conversation stays relevant.
Lesson questions can be linked to the community as well so future learners can find answers without repeating the same threads multiple times.
Encourage sharing by making community posts part of your steps or milestones. When students post their work celebrate their progress with reactions or highlight top contributions in an announcements thread.
These social elements create a friendly sense of competition and accountability.

When learners take action, get personal feedback, and engage with peers, they stay focused, complete more lessons, and achieve better outcomes.
