Q&A Software for Online Courses
Q&A software for online courses turns recurring learner questions into a searchable asset instead of an email backlog in the instructor's inbox. Scoold surrounds each course module with a dedicated Q&A space where students ask, peers answer, and the best responses rise through voting. Course creators reduce support burden while building a knowledge base that compounds in value with every new cohort.
Per-Lesson Spaces for Every Cohort
Create a separate Space for each course module, lesson, or cohort so questions stay scoped to the right context. Intro modules never drown out advanced topics, and a January cohort's threads stay distinct from September's. Learners search within their own Space or across the whole catalog. Course creators organize discussions the way they already structure their content.
Reduce Instructor Support Load
The same questions surface every cohort - the same installation snag, the same conceptual sticking point. Scoold captures each answer once. Similar-post suggestions appear while a learner types a new question, often resolving the issue before submission. Instructors answer at the top of their funnel and stop repeating themselves in direct messages. Better search means more time for teaching.
A Format Learners Adopt Instantly
Voting, accepted answers, reputation, and badges are mechanics students already understand from Stack Overflow, so there's no training overhead. The reward loop keeps learners returning between modules and nudges passive viewers into active contributors. Engagement signals like reputation also surface which students are helping peers - useful signal for instructors and for community-building around a course brand.
Self-Hosted, White-Label, Your Brand
Deploy Scoold on your own domain with your logo, colors, and course branding. No third-party forum watermark, no co-branded SaaS interface competing with your course identity. Learners stay inside a branded experience that reinforces your course rather than a vendor's. Full white-label control ships in the open-source Community edition - no premium tier required to look professional.
SSO With Your Course Platform
Authenticate learners against your existing course platform through OAuth 2.0, LDAP, or SAML 2.0 so they never manage a separate login. Scoold Pro adds SCIM provisioning for automated account lifecycle management tied to enrollment. One credential, one branded experience, and zero password friction at the start of every course when dropout risk is highest.
A Knowledge Base That Compounds
Every cohort's questions enrich the knowledge base for the next. By year three of a course, the most common questions answer themselves through search, leaving instructors free to focus on novel queries and curriculum improvement. The REST API lets you embed Q&A inside your course site or LMS, so discussion happens where learners already work.
