Hey there instructors,

On January 25th, we had the pleasure of having an AMA-style webinar with our Senior Director, Product Management Jacob Coulter and we wanted to share a recap of what we discussed.

As background on who Jacob Coulter is and what he does here at Udemy.

Jacob joined Udemy in June of 2022 to bring features to the Udemy platform to help you succeed as an instructor! At the moment his area of expertise is the following:

• Tooling for instructor content management

• Instructor insights (data, reporting, course performance dashboard)

• The learner <> Instructor interactions

Here’s what we covered during the Webinar!

For the first portion of the AMA, we had Jacob answer some of the questions that you posted in the webinar invite. 

Hi, everyone,

Over the past few months, we’ve done some research to understand how we can improve the Udemy mobile app for you. Many of you shared your challenges with viewing and responding to learner Q&A on the app. Based on your feedback, we've updated the instructor mobile Q&A experience to be more intuitive across iOS and Android.

Now on the instructor app, you’ll be able to:
- Mark, view, and remove featured questions
- Add filters to sort by newest, oldest, and most upvoted questions
- View lecture and section information for each question for more context

We hope these updates help you interact with and support learners more easily across devices than ever before! To check out the changes, sign in to your account on the Udemy mobile app, tap Switch to Instructor View under the Account tab, and then tap Q&A under the Inbox tab.

We’re excited to share with you our updated Udemy Business Priority Topic list for Q1 2023! 

This quarterly-updated list was created by our Udemy Business Content Strategy Team by examining topic demand and requests from our customers, reviewing industry trends, and closely reviewing our current offerings.

Feel free to take a look at the list and see if there are any courses that you can create!
