In Self-Paced classes, learners access pre-recorded lessons instead of live video meetings and receive teacher feedback and support while completing lessons.
Enroll Now and Start Anytime
Self-paced classes include access to pre-recorded video lessons for an entire year and teacher feedback for a preset number of weeks. For more detailed information about a class, visit the class details page. When you're ready to begin, click Enroll Now, Start Anytime.
Select a Start Date
By default, your enrollment starts immediately. If you prefer to start later, choose a future start date for when your learner will begin content access.
Your teacher's availability to answer questions or provide feedback will begin on whichever day your learner begins to access content.
Start Learning
You can view your classroom by clicking the Classroom link from your confirmation email or by navigating to Outschool.com and clicking on the tile with the name of our self-paced class under Upcoming Classes & Tutoring Sessions. You will then see a big purple button that says Enter Classroom.
Learners enter the classroom from their learner profile to view lessons. The new week’s lesson becomes available every seven days for weekly enrollments. When finished, click the Mark Lesson as Completed button to add a checkmark to the lesson.
Learners use the comment box at the bottom of each lesson to communicate with the teacher and submit assignments. The teacher can provide feedback throughout the class length listed on the class details page, and learners will receive a notification when the teacher replies to their message.
Accessing Self-Paced Content After a Class Ends
Self-paced enrollments include access to lesson content for an entire year, even after the class has ended. Learners can continue to revisit lessons at any time during that access period.
To access a completed self-paced class:
Go to your Outschool dashboard.
Select the Classes tab.
Click Completed.
Find the self-paced class in the list.
Click the class to enter the classroom and view lessons.
The class will remain available in the Completed section for the duration of your self-paced access period.
Managing Self-Paced Enrollments
You can withdraw mid-enrollment to stop future charges. Learners who withdraw before the end of the class will lose access to all content.
Please note: Per Outschool’s Class Cancellation Policy, once access to content begins, you are no longer eligible for a refund if you cancel the enrollment. We recommend reviewing the Class Experience section on the class details page before completing your enrollment.
Offline Mode
Learners can access Offline Mode when they don’t have an internet connection but would like to access class materials. Through the Outschool Mobile app, you can:
Save Lessons for Offline Use: In the Learner Classroom, you can easily view and save lessons to your device for offline use. Saving a lesson offline will make all videos, assignments, and attachments available. Once you’ve completed a lesson, you can remove the saved lesson from your device.
Switch Learner Profiles Offline: If you have previously accessed a learner’s profile in the Mobile app, you can seamlessly switch to their profile while offline.
