Structured Modules & Lessons

Organize your course into modules and lessons with drag-and-drop ordering. Each lesson can include HLS video, text content, downloadable resources, and quizzes. Students see a clear curriculum outline before enrolling and track their progress lesson by lesson.

  • Unlimited modules and lessons per course
  • Drag-and-drop reordering for curriculum design
  • Mixed content types: video, text, downloads, quizzes
  • Drip scheduling to release lessons over time

HLS Video Streaming via MediaKit

Upload your course videos and DGateway transcodes them into adaptive-bitrate HLS streams using MediaKit. Students on slow 3G connections in rural Uganda get a smooth 360p stream, while those on fiber get crisp 1080p. No buffering, no third-party CDN bills.

  • Automatic HLS transcoding (360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p)
  • Adaptive bitrate streaming for any connection speed
  • Built-in PlyrPlayer with progress resume
  • AI-generated chapter markers and sprite previews

Student Enrollment & Progress Tracking

Students enroll with a single click and pay via Mobile Money or card. Their dashboard shows course progress, completed lessons, and certificates. As a creator, you see enrollment numbers, completion rates, and revenue per course — all in real time.

  • One-click enrollment with Mobile Money or card payment
  • Visual progress bars and completion tracking
  • Automatic certificate generation on completion
  • Creator analytics: enrollments, completions, revenue
