A one-page checklist across all five planes - cohort and curriculum, content delivery (on-demand plus live), community and discussion, engagement and accountability, and operations and monetization - plus the completion levers (first-week onboarding, woven-in discussion, instructor presence) and the standards each plane should speak, to pressure-test the architecture before you commit a budget.

Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This checklist pressure-tests a cohort course platform across five planes, from curriculum and live plus on-demand delivery to community, engagement and monetization, with the levers that lift completion. Our seven-volume handbook covers the full video stack; start with Volume 3 for WebRTC classes, players and CDN delivery, then Volume 1 for encoding and Volume 4 for audio. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
