Build courses together with Team members
Tiny Courses started as a tool for one person building one course. It didn't take long before people started asking a very reasonable question: how do I bring my colleague, my editor, or my co-founder into this without giving them my actual login? Team members is our answer.
The password-sharing problem
Before this shipped, the honest answer for a lot of accounts was "share the login and hope for the best." That's fine right up until someone accidentally deletes a course, or you want to know who actually changed something, or someone leaves and you have to remember to change the password. None of that is a good system, and we knew it wouldn't hold up once accounts started growing past one person.
Four roles, matched to how teams actually work
Rather than one generic "collaborator" role, we split access into four levels that map to what people are actually doing day to day.
- Owner — manages the account, billing, and the team itself
- Creator — builds and edits course content
- Viewer — can look around without being able to change anything
- Learner — progress and answers always stay personal to that person, even inside a shared account
Inviting someone properly
An invite goes out by email, expires if it isn't accepted, and only works for the person it was sent to. Once someone accepts, they show up as a real member with their own login and their own name attached to what they do, rather than a shared identity everyone logs into. If someone leaves the team, you remove them. You don't have to remember to change a password.
Who this actually helps
A solo coach bringing on a virtual assistant to manage uploads and scheduling. A two-person studio where one person writes and the other edits. A charity where the volunteer who set up the account six months ago has since moved on, but the courses still need to run under someone else's management. None of these are edge cases. They're most of the accounts that outgrow "just me."
Building together without the chaos
The goal was never to make Tiny Courses feel more corporate. It was to make it possible for more than one person to build something together without that turning into a mess of shared passwords and unclear ownership. Whether that's two people or ten, the account stays one tidy place, and everyone in it has exactly the access they need, no more and no less.

Vanity numbers feel good and teach you nothing. Tiny Courses analytics are built around real learner progress, so you know which lesson actually needs work.
Turn passive lessons into active learning with Questions
Reading is easy to forget. A well-placed question turns a lesson into a moment of thinking, and that's usually where the learning actually sticks.
