@AriLevy112 Indeed. I assume you may have collected sufficient information to feed to LLM, I think you should propose this to Udemy staff + an AI assistant micro-service based on said data would help Udemy + questioners better; later that can be incorporated on web as well as Mobile apps, etc.  Great Idea btw.   regards  ...

@RandyMinder  You are spot on. I was quoting the original poster (OP) to respond to a specific question, as something to add to the feedback already offered in regards to send announcements when the OP does add more content.  I can see why it was seen as my post as I didn’t use quote marks.

Simple question: When I publish my course on Udemy, am I free to publish the same course (regardless of its format: video, book etc) on other platforms? "Manage Promotional Agreements Instructor Terms When you sign up to become an instructor on the Udemy platform, you agree to abide by the Instructor Terms. They cover details about the Udemy platform that are relevant to instructors (including pricing, payments, and your obligations as an instructor), so it’s important to read them. I have read and agree to the Udemy Instructor Terms. Udemy’s Promotional Programs Udemy offers several optional marketing programs in which you can choose to participate. These programs can help increase your revenue potential on Udemy by finding the optimal price point for your content and promoting it through additional marketing channels. There is no up-front cost to participate in these programs, and you can modify your participation status at any time. However, changes you make will not apply to currently active campaigns. These programs are subject to the terms of our Promotions Policy, so you should read it carefully. Deals Program Millions of students enroll in courses each year through the Udemy Deals Program. Participation can increase your revenue potential by enabling Udemy to offer your content at a compelling discount via targeted promotions. The Deals Program allows Udemy to offer your content for a price no lower than $9.99 USD (or local equivalent) except in select countries or to certain resellers. It also allows Udemy to optimize your list price in different markets. I have read and agree to the Promotions Policy terms for the Udemy Deals Program. Udemy Business Program The Udemy Business Collection is a subscription-based content collection available to business customers, featuring a select group of Udemy’s top content for professional and personal development skills. By opting into the Udemy Business Program, you give Udemy the ability to select your content for inclusion in the Udemy Business Collection. You also agree that, if your course is selected for inclusion, you will not begin to offer any equivalent on-demand content on any competitor site or platform other than your own. I have read and agree to the Promotions Policy terms for the Udemy Business Program. Note that opting into these programs does not guarantee participation."     ChatGPT   Based on the information you provided: Udemy Instructor Terms: This section doesn't seem to specify any exclusivity concerning where you can publish your content. It mainly talks about the terms relevant to instructors on the platform, such as pricing, payments, and other obligations. You should make sure to read the full Instructor Terms to confirm any details related to content exclusivity. Udemy’s Promotional Programs: This section explains the marketing programs that Udemy offers. It doesn't appear to impose any restrictions on where you can publish your content. Deals Program: While this program allows Udemy to offer your content at a discounted rate and to adjust the list price in different markets, it doesn’t seem to restrict you from publishing the same course on other platforms. Udemy Business Program: This section does have an exclusivity clause. If you opt into the Udemy Business Program and if your course is selected for inclusion in the Udemy Business Collection, you agree that you will not offer any equivalent on-demand content on any competitor site or platform other than your own. This means that if your course is part of the Udemy Business Collection, you can't publish the same or very similar content on other platforms like Coursera, Skillshare, etc. However, you are still free to publish it on your own personal website or platform. In conclusion, you're generally free to publish your course on other platforms unless it's included in the Udemy Business Collection. If it is, then you can't publish similar content on other competing platforms, but you can on your own personal site. Always consult the full terms and conditions or seek legal advice to ensure you understand and are compliant with all of Udemy's terms. ... View more

Greetings,  I feel it's a very important topic. As I am new on udemy, but on teaching online, I was searching on YouTube how to find the url of my published course on udemy. And you ppl. Know what stuff I found on YouTube. Hundereds of videos in which there were a lot of tricks to download the udemy courses and videos for free.  I feel this is an era of online work and it will increase with time. Aa a result, the cyber threat is increased.  I suggest udemy must use some more and power full tools for cybersecyrity. It's the concern of alll the online works. Banks are on especial danger. So, udemy must update the pitfalls and leaks so that no one could scam it. Thousands  of hardworking ppl work goes just free of cost. There is no ethics in Scammets. Please consider my suggestion.    And at the same time, if someone can tell me where can I find the url of my first published case with students. Because the url I received after my course was published, it plays the while course.  A url specifying a suumary of the course. I hope I made my two points. Please reply.    Regards    Prof. Shahzad Waseem  ... View more

No, there's no such feature for in-video pop-up quiz questions on Udemy; however, you can create quizzes, and have them linked to specific lectures, where if a student gets the answer wrong, they know which lecture it refers to. ... View more

@DennisDeveloperAi    You have a hot topic and experience as a developer, so you’ve established yourself as an expert. People want to hear from experts and have confidence in this.    Without having a significant following, is it realistic to expect a good amount of traffic to my course? Yes, Udemy is a good place to gain a following. When it comes to course presentation, do you believe it's beneficial to be on camera throughout the course, or is an introduction sufficient? I have recordings of me speaking, I also have videos of the slide deck and students hear my voice.  Another question to ask is who is your target audience? With your topic, I would ask about hands on application; so how interactive is the actual course? Just by taking the course, will I have practice and increased hard skills? That is what would sell me on your course and make it stand out for me. ... View more

Thanks for taking time.  Look David, all my replies and discussions here, aa I replied above to Alexa, should be taken as constructive. I am not asking the udemy to change its policies for me. I abide by its polices, that's why I am here. And, whether an individual or a big organisation, thete is always a room for imorovemt.  Udemy has reached here from very small level and now it's a brand. It has many more goods than short comings. Few are some issues which have been disturbing for you. I hope that you take it positively.    1. When I submit a course after addressing and fixing, I expect an automatic email that the course has been submitted for review. Besides the message on the screen that course has been submitted for review. 2. One major issue is that after almost typically 17 hours of my submission, I receive the same email that is to fix the issues which I had fixed 17 hours ago. No new words,just as it's as automatic reply without checking if someone has submitted the fixes. This email created issues confusions.  3. Second major issue is the difference in opinion between reviewers, which is normal. But if you have a tick list, there should be no difference of opinion as you are checking the course according to the checklist. For example one says image is not correct, the other says it's OK. In between I had changed the image and problem remains there. 4. Regarding promotional  video, it's also the same as image. I get the emails to fix it after 8 have fixed it. I assume hat the email has been sent after reviewing my course, but that attached screenshot us of the old video.   In the end, vi am thankful for your support and my inability and lack of knowledge and understanding that I am repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different result, as said by Einstein.  Dear David, I will also send you the copy of this reply to the email with agsin updated ticket to me. This reply us to acknowledge you ppl to try your best to help me out.  Regards.  ... View more

@CodyWeinman104  Hello   Maybe you are expecting yourself to record too much in one “take” or recording. Maybe break it up to 10 minute recordings.   I use zoom to record and you mentioned zoom. When I experience a hiccup, I immediately end session and put the video clip in iMovies with a fade to black transition and tree with music.  I edit to where I completed a section, or place I could begin again easily. Then on my next “take” I begin where the edit left off.  When we are hyperaroused we can’t create well, or bring that A game we give in person, so practice calming exercises before you make another attempt. Drink water, go outdoors, listen to music. It doesn’t sound like you are technologically challenged. You sound human.    ... View more

I begin with an outline focused on solving a problem for my target audience. Then I add learning objectives; steps to solving that problem. I record videos and include reading materials (my notes) and self reflective assignments to apply the concepts in the course, for each section. With my conclusion, I summarize the key concepts and talk about next steps. I often challenge students to create their own unique action plan.   Working on how to engage the students through a group to foster collaborative learning, so it’s not all online. Soft skills need practice.  Looking forward to the wisdom in this forum to sharpen my skills,   ... View more

Hello @ChrystieV, Firstly, I would like to appreciate all the hard work that the Udemy team puts into creating engaging content and fostering a sense of community. The resources shared during the month of May, particularly around AV, have been enlightening.   The posts and discussions have provided valuable insights into content creation and setup, which is a critical aspect of course design. The exchange of ideas and experiences has been beneficial, and it's always enlightening to learn from others' perspectives and solutions.   That being said, here are a few suggestions for future content: Case Studies: I think it would be interesting to read case studies of successful instructors who have made significant strides in their fields. Learning about their journey, obstacles, and how they overcame them could be quite inspiring and instructive. Tech Recommendations: As technology evolves, so do the tools we use for course creation. Regular updates on recommended hardware and software could be beneficial. Maybe even a monthly 'tech spotlight' on a tool or software that could aid course creation. Guest Posts: Inviting experienced instructors or industry experts to write guest posts could add diverse viewpoints to the discussions and enhance learning. Themed Discussions: You could introduce themed weeks where we focus on a particular aspect of course creation. This would create a focused and deeper conversation on the chosen theme. Live Q&A sessions: Organizing live Q&A sessions with Udemy officials or successful instructors could be a great interactive addition. Overall, I believe the community is growing stronger and providing value to its members. Keep up the good work!   Best regards, Team AITCD ... View more

Hi  I do a Google and Bing search for my course name plus "download", "free" and inspect the entries in the first 10 pages or so. Some are legit, and could be affiliates so be really careful of those. Others are obviously dodgy sites, bulletin boards etc. I found that most sites will link to the same content on file sharing sites. There are about 5 main file sharing sites. Once you find the links, make a list and then so a DMCA request on the file sharing site page. Most sites have one. Most respond within about 48 hours or so. Once you kill the head of the snake - where the content is actually located then the pirate sites don't matter as they then link to dead links. Actually these pirate sites can act as a form of advertising as, dead links will frustrate any one looking for an easy picking. ... View more
