Courses and Classes: The Perfect Tools for WELE Teachers
WELE provides two powerful tools for teachers: Courses and Classes. These features complement each other, helping teachers create structured learning content while effectively managing their students.
What are Courses?
Courses are collections of podcast lessons organized into a systematic learning path. Teachers can create their own courses with modules and lessons arranged in order from easy to advanced.
Key Course Features
- Modular structure: Divide courses into clear chapters/modules
- Learning path: Students follow lessons in sequence from start to finish
- Diverse content: Add podcasts, videos, PDF materials
- Assignments: Assign dictation exercises to students
- Progress tracking: See completion percentage for each student
- Certificates: Issue certificates upon course completion
Types of Courses
- Public: Anyone can view and learn
- Private: Only invited students can access
- Paid: Students need to purchase for access
What are Classes?
Classes are virtual spaces for teachers to manage specific student groups. Unlike Courses (which focus on content), Classes focus on people management and interaction.
Key Class Features
- Member management: Add/remove students, assign roles
- Assignment delivery: Assign podcast lessons with specific deadlines
- Leaderboard: See who tops the class in scores
- Detailed reports: Individual progress, common errors
- Announcements: Send notifications to the entire class
- Activity history: Track who completed work and when

Who Should Use Courses? Who Should Use Classes?
Use Courses if:
- You want to create online courses to sell or share free
- Content follows a fixed learning path
- Students self-study without close teacher supervision
- You want to scale to many students
Use Classes if:
- You teach offline and need to assign homework
- You need to closely monitor individual student progress
- You want deadlines and class competition
- Small groups with high interaction
Combining Both
Many teachers use both: create Courses as standardized content, then assign that Course to different Classes. This way, you only create content once but can reuse it for multiple classes.
