Here’s what today’s students are looking for:

1.Clarity: Clear structure and easy navigation.
2.Feedback: Quick responses and guidance from instructors.
3.Support: Whether it’s tech help or academic questions, support should be easy to reach.
4.Value: Quality content that feels worth the time and money.
5.Recognition: Certificates or milestones that show progress and achievement.

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget the student’s perspective while building a platform. But the best way to grow is to keep asking one question: “Would I enjoy learning here?”

Great platforms are built not just by developers and educators — but with the voice of students at the core.
