Is there any way I can organize a discussion group in Udemy?

SKY_Yang

Hi,

I’m new to Udemy and I want to give a course on software develop engineering. After course, there must some questions from students. Many of these questions will be commonly and repeat asked. Can I have a discussion group of all paid students then I can answer questions in that group and share questions and answers there.

Thanks.

Hi @SKY_Yang. Welcome to the instructor Community 🎉

Thank you so much for your post, and how exciting that you're planning to publish a course on Udemy!

When students take online courses, it's quite common for questions to arise. To address this, Udemy offers two options that allow students to reach out to instructors and ask any questions they may have:

• Private messages (if enabled by the instructor).
• Q&A feature, where questions and answers are visible to all students enrolled in the course.

Within the Q&A feature, you have the option to create "featured questions" and encourage your students to leave a reply. As for “group discussions”, while we don’t yet have a dedicated space for this on Udemy, we’ve received similar feedback from other instructors and have passed it on to our internal team. Many instructors have successfully created external groups on platforms like Facebook and Discord.

Below, I’ve linked discussions that might be helpful:
