Before you start
- Your Aha Studio accountMicroCourse Buildr is for members: 20 micro-courses a month. Unlimited with your own AI key after your first 14 days.
- An idea or your materialWhat it should teach, or your own material: pasted text, one of your eBook Buildr books or one of your SEO Magnets articles.
- A link for the end (optional)Where the button after the last module goes: your offer, your full course or a booking page.
Nothing is made up. From your material the course teaches only what it says: a figure, a study, an expert, a quote, a person or a testimonial that is not in it is taken out, and you can see each line that was and why. From an idea alone it states no figures at all. Every quiz is checked: the right answer must be in the module the learner just read, or the quiz is written again from the module, or left out.

What the course is
One fileA single HTML page with everything inside: no other files, no tracking, works on phones and offline.
ModulesEach with a numbered header in your colours, what the learner will learn, a few short paragraphs and a quick quiz. The learner moves on with Next once the quiz is answered.
Quizzes2 to 4 options, one right answer, a line on why. A quiz is kept only when the module text shows its right answer. The score shows at the end.
The endThe score, the recap, your well-done line and your call to action button.
ProgressSaved in the learner's own browser, so they carry on where they stopped. Their answers never leave it.
Taken out while writingUnder the preview, every line that was taken out, with why.
