Online and In-Person Classes

Teach what you know — with scheduling, enrollment, video conferencing, and payments built in.

If you have knowledge or skills worth sharing, Distancer.ai gives you the tools to run classes professionally. Create structured courses with scheduled sessions, manage student enrollment, deliver content through built-in video conferencing, and collect payments automatically — all from one platform. We automate the payment flow; building a class worth signing up for is the fun part.

How It Works

1. Create a Class Offer Describe what you’ll teach, set a price per student, and define the session duration. The platform generates a public page for your class with a shareable link.

2. Schedule Sessions Set one or more time slots in your Availability Calendar, specifying start dates and times. You can offer single sessions or recurring series. Configure schedule properties like the maximum number of students per slot. You can add or modify calendar slots at any time, even after going live.

3. Enroll Students Students browse your class page, select a time slot, and pay to reserve their spot. You review and approve (or decline) each enrollment request.

4. Deliver the Class Use the built-in virtual classroom with video, screen sharing, and chat — supported on any device. For in-person classes, the platform handles scheduling and payments while you focus on teaching.

5. Get Paid The platform monitors session timing, calculates final payments and fees, and ensures you’re paid on time.

Online vs. In-Person

Online classes use the platform’s built-in video conferencing. Students join from anywhere, and the platform handles connection monitoring and session management.

In-person classes use the platform for scheduling, enrollment, and payments. You provide the physical venue and instruction. The platform handles confirmations, reminders, and payment collection so you can focus on teaching.

You can offer both formats — some students prefer the convenience of online, while others want the hands-on experience of in-person learning.

Classes combine well with other business types — sell course materials through your online store, offer advanced one-on-one consultations, or host live events to attract new students.
