Student Course Experience
What learners see and how they consume lessons on ArtInStack.
Understanding the student view helps you design curriculum that feels clear on desktop and mobile. Learners see a focused course home—module list, progress, resume—and a lesson player with navigation and downloads. Branding follows your site theme so the course feels part of your studio, not a separate product.
Prerequisites
Student path: portal or course URL → course home → lesson player
Your path: course admin → Preview as student (when offered)
What you're looking at
Course home: progress bar or completion indicator, module accordion, Resume or Continue button.
Lesson view: video or text content, Mark complete, Previous / Next lesson controls.
Attachments: downloadable files linked from the lesson body or attachment panel.
Implementation steps
- Enroll a test student via purchase, invitation, or free enrollment—matching your production access rules.
- Sign in as that student (or open Preview as student from course admin).
- Open the course home and confirm modules list in the order you set.
- Start Module 1, Lesson 1 and play or read through the content.
- Click Mark complete (if shown) and confirm progress updates on the course home.
- Use Next and Previous to move between lessons without losing place.
- Download an attached PDF or file when the lesson includes one.
- Open the course on a phone-width browser to check readability and video behavior.
What you'll see
The student journey is predictable: course home shows progress, lessons load with navigation intact, and downloads work. Progress reflects completed lessons after the student marks them or finishes required content.
Verifying your setup
- A test student is enrolled through your real access path.
- At least one lesson is completed with progress saved.
- Navigation and file downloads work on desktop and a narrow mobile width.
