To create an effective online course platform, start by defining your goals and understanding your target audience. Choose the right technology, whether it's a pre-built LMS or a custom solution, and design an intuitive, user-friendly interface. Provide tools for course creation, integrate essential learning management features like progress tracking and certificates, and ensure the
platform is accessible on mobile devices. Set up secure payment options and offer support for both course creators and learners. Lastly, protect user data with strong security measures and use feedback to continually improve the platform.
