Platform Overview
Understand how the platform is structured and how content flows from the CMS to students.
How the Platform Works
The platform has two main parts:
- The Strapi Admin Panel — where you create and manage all your course content
- The Student-Facing App — where students browse courses, watch lessons, and track progress
When you publish content in Strapi, it becomes available to students on the app automatically. There is no manual deployment or code changes required.
Content Structure
Content is organized in a simple hierarchy:
- Courses — the top-level container (e.g., "Introduction to Data Analytics")
- Lessons — individual learning units within a course (e.g., "Setting Up Your Environment")
Each course has metadata like a title, description, thumbnail image, difficulty level, and skill tags. Each lesson has a title, rich text content, optional video, and a display order.
Student Experience
When students visit the platform, they see:
- A course catalog showing all published courses
- A course detail page with the course overview and lesson list
- Individual lesson pages with video content and written material
- Progress tracking so they can pick up where they left off
