Is community included on every Ruzuku plan?

Yes. Course community discussions are available on every plan, including the free tier. There's no per-member fee. The free plan is limited to 5 students; paid plans have unlimited students.

How is Ruzuku's community different from Circle or Mighty Networks?

Ruzuku's community is integrated into the course experience — discussions happen at the lesson level, in context. Standalone community platforms require a separate login, separate app, and separate subscription. They're great for general communities, but for course-based learning, integrated discussions produce better engagement.

Can students interact with each other or only with me?

Both. Students can reply to each other's posts, creating peer-to-peer learning conversations. You participate as the instructor but don't need to be the only voice. Many creators find that student-to-student exchanges become the most valuable part of the community.

Do community discussions carry over between cohorts?

You control this. You can keep previous cohort discussions visible for future students (great for building a knowledge base) or start fresh with each new cohort (better for programs where cohort bonding matters).

Built-In Community for Your Courses

Where course discussions happen naturally, not in a separate tool

Every Ruzuku course includes a built-in community where students discuss lessons, share progress, and support each other. No separate platform, no extra cost, no integration headaches.

The Challenge

Why This Matters

Most course platforms bolt on a generic forum or push you to a separate community tool like Circle or Slack. Students end up with logins scattered across platforms, discussions disconnected from course content, and you managing yet another tool. What works better is community that lives inside the course — where discussions are tied to specific lessons and participation is part of the learning experience.

Capabilities

What You Get

Everything included in Ruzuku's community platform

Lesson-Level Discussions

Every lesson has its own discussion thread. Students ask questions and share insights in context — right where the learning happens, not in a disconnected forum.

Threaded Conversations

Replies nest under the original post so conversations stay organized. You can respond to specific students without losing track of who said what.

Instructor Presence

Your responses appear alongside student discussions. Pin important posts, highlight exemplary contributions, and guide the conversation as the course expert.

Peer Learning Built In

Students learn from each other's questions, exercise submissions, and shared experiences. The community becomes a resource that grows with every cohort.

How It Works

Get Started in 5 Simple Steps

Community is on by default

When you create a course, community discussions are automatically enabled for every lesson. No setup, no configuration needed.

Students engage as they learn

Students post questions and share insights as they work through lessons. Discussions are tied to specific content, keeping conversations focused and relevant.

You guide the conversation

Respond to posts, ask follow-up questions, and share additional resources. Your instructor presence turns a comment section into a learning community.

Community compounds over time

Past cohort discussions stay visible for future students. Common questions get answered before they're asked. Your community becomes an ever-growing resource.

Why Ruzuku

The Ruzuku Difference

No Separate Community Tool

Community is built into every course. No Circle subscription, no Slack workspace, no integration to maintain.

Context-Aware Discussions

Discussions are tied to specific lessons. Students don't have to explain which module they're referring to — the context is automatic.

Included on Every Plan

Community isn't a premium add-on. It's available on every Ruzuku plan, including the free tier (limited to 5 students).

No Per-Seat Pricing

Community platforms like Circle charge per member. Ruzuku's community has no additional per-member fee on any plan.

“The community feature is what makes Ruzuku different. My students support each other in ways I never expected. It's not just a course — it's a learning community.”
