What is Self-Paced Learning?

A Self-Paced course lets learners start anytime and finish at their own speed — there's no fixed schedule. Choose this when you want your content available on-demand instead of running live cohorts.

Before you begin

Have your video files ready in mp4, mov, or avi format, at 720p or higher (the minimum resolution for learner comfort).
Planning a paid course? You'll need to connect Xendit (for Rupiah transactions) or Stripe (for other currencies) at the pricing step.

Step 1 — Open the Products menu

Log in to Eduqat and open the Admin Dashboard. In the menu, click Products. You'll see your list of existing products (or an empty list if this is your first one).

Step 2 — Create a new product

Click New Product. Enter your course name, select Self-Paced as the type, then click + New Product.

Step 3 — Choose Blank or Smart AI

You'll be asked how to build the course. Choose Blank to build it manually (this guide), or Smart AI to let Eduqat draft it for you. Click Next.

Step 4 — Build your curriculum

This is where you add content, organized into sessions and lesson materials.

Click Add Session. Rename it if you like (e.g., "Module 1: Getting Started").
Click Add Lesson Material and pick a type — video, rich text, or audio. (This guide uses video. See Types of Lesson Materials for the full list.)
Give the lesson a clear name and fill in the details.
Upload your video (mp4/mov/avi, 720p+).
Write a short, clear description of what the lesson covers.
(Optional) Add attachments to support the lesson.
(Optional) Adjust extra settings — allow download, allow playback speed-up, or mark the lesson as required to complete the session.
Click Save & Exit, or Save as draft to finish later.

Repeat steps 1–8 to add more sessions and materials until your curriculum is complete.

Step 5 — Set the price

Open the Price section. Choose Free, or set a price for a paid course.

Step 6 — Customize the course page

Set what learners see on the course page: the banner, the educators teaching it, and the certificate they'll receive. See Customizing Course Information for details.

Step 7 — Publish

Review everything, then choose Publish. You can also Save as draft or set another publish status. Once published, your course goes live and learners can enroll.

Congratulations! Your Self-Paced Learning course is now active and accessible by your learners. If you encounter any difficulties or issues in creating your course, please contact our team at [email protected]. We will help you with the process and answer your questions gladly!
