Community as part of the course layout
Dina Marais
I would love for Zenler to have a similar look as Skool or Circle, where the community activity for a course is on the same page.

A great idea!
If not, at least a few UX changes would be necessary:
- From the course player when the student presses the <Community> button to reach the course community page. Currently, when they press this button, they reach the course discussion page (I honestly don't see the role of this <Course discussions> page, students will understand what is being discussed if they see the question in the lesson where the discussion part is activated and they will benefit from the answers if they see them all on the same topic).
- From the site when the student presses the <Community> button to reach the <Your feed> page. We are trying to build a community for some courses that we run over a period of 2 months, but without success because students do not reach the course community page or do not know how to find it.
- Also, students who are enrolled in the course by the admins should also be enrolled in the course community, now this does not happen and they do not have access to the weekly posts because the community is closed to them.
In the last 2 months we have used the community part more intensively for 4 courses and we realized that it is complicated for students who cannot find the pages, answer questions in the lessons in the platform community because they cannot find the course one, etc. And for facilitators it is difficult to respond to comments in the lessons with discussions because not all are displayed, the page often displays an error, etc.
In its current form it is not efficient to use the community part at all.
We thank you in advance for making the Community component a pleasant experience for all users of the platform.
