Welcome to the Academy platform! This comprehensive guide will help you understand the core features and how to navigate the platform effectively as both an academy owner and learner.

What is the Academy Platform?

The Academy platform is a comprehensive learning management system that provides a centralized hub for educational content, resources, and community interaction.

The platform is built around three core pillars that create a complete learning ecosystem:

  • Learning: Interactive course management with progress tracking

  • Community: Social interaction through posts and discussions

Platform Navigation

Your academy is accessible through a unique URL: https://[subdomain].learniverse.app where the [subdomain] is the subdomain you set up when creating your academy.

You can also set up your academy with a Custom Domain by following the instructions in the academy settings.

Or you can access it through the dashboard, and click the View Academy button as an educator.
