Your students learn better when the course follows them everywhere. An app puts today’s lesson at their fingertips, and gives you a direct line to them.

An online course rarely happens on a computer. People move forward one lesson on the train, watch a video again before bed, ask a question between two meetings.

If your courses live in Fluent Community, they can have their own app, in your colors, without rebuilding anything.

FC Pulse - The ultimate mobile experience for Fluent Community on Wordpress

What an app changes for your online courses

  • Direct access. The icon is on the home screen, the current course opens with one tap.
  • Visible progress. Each student sees where they are and picks up where they left off.
  • Reminders that land. A new lesson becomes a notification on their phone.
  • A living class. The space chat and the Activity feed keep students together.

That is often the difference between a course that was bought and a course that was finished.

All your courses, in a real app.

Your Fluent Community courses in the app, just as they are

FC Pulse reads the courses from your Fluent Community: chapters, lessons, access. You don’t recreate anything. In the app, your students find each course page, its chapters and the button to continue.

Every completed lesson is celebrated, with confetti, fireworks or stars. That small moment matters more than you might think: it makes them want to start the next one.

Everyone picks up where they left off.

You also choose the course page template, and the app’s home page can highlight the current course thanks to the block builder.

Announce every new lesson

A published lesson can go out on its own as a push notification. One tap, and the student lands directly on the right lesson, in the app.

You can also write your own messages: a reminder before a live session, some encouragement for those who haven’t opened the course in a while, a send scheduled for Monday morning.

A new lesson, and your students know it.

Certificates and badges: the end of the course gets shared

At the end of a course, the student receives a certificate and a badge. They can share them, or add them to their LinkedIn profile. Your course gets known through the people who finished it.

Create the app for your courses, step by step

  1. Install FC Pulse next to Fluent Community, with SdravoCore, its free foundation.
  2. Pick a template, a theme and your colors. Add your logo.
  3. Build the home page: current course, courses, spaces, videos.
  4. Turn on the app and invite your students to install it on their home screen.

For an app under your name on the App Store and Google Play, FC Pulse connects to Maymoune. Both come together in the 1 site + app Founder pack.
