Academy

Academy lets you teach inside your Discord server. Staff build courses in the dashboard, and members read the lessons, watch the videos, and take the quizzes inside Discord. Each member only sees the courses their roles unlock.

Academy is in Beta: it works and is still being polished.

What a course is made of

• Modules group the lessons, for example one per week.
• Lessons are text, and on the Pro, Community and Educator plans they can carry a video.
• Quizzes are optional multiple choice questions at the end of a lesson. A lesson with a quiz is only complete once the member passes it.
• Access roles decide who sees the course. No roles means every member can open it.

A course is a Draft until you publish it, and members only ever see Published courses. Archive a course you no longer use instead of deleting it: archived courses can be brought back at any time.

Build your first course

1. Open the dashboard and go to Academy. If you do not see it, switch Academy on from the Modules page.
2. Give your course a title, press Create course, then add a module and a lesson.
3. Write the lesson, and add a video and a quiz if you want them.
4. Pick the access roles, then set the course to Published.

How members open it

Members open the Rallyra Activity from the Activities (rocket) button in Discord and press Open Academy. They see their courses, pick up where they left off, and can mark lessons as done. Launching Activities inside Discord is still rolling out, so some members may see "Failed to Launch" for now. That is a Discord approval step on our side, not a problem with your server.

Video lessons

Videos are uploaded from the lesson page and converted on Rallyra's servers. Members watch them inside Discord, with their Discord name drifting across the picture so a screen recording can be traced back to the account that made it. The video files are encrypted and never offered as a download.

Video lessons are part of the Pro, Community and Educator plans. Free and Starter servers have text lessons.

Rewards for finishing

Both are optional and off by default.

• Completion reward. Set a number of points for finishing the course. A member's first finish creates one payout request that staff approve in Discord, like every other payout. Nothing is paid automatically, and points have no cash value.
• Completion role. Pick a role to give members who finish. Rallyra needs the Manage Roles permission and its own role above that one. It never gives a role with staff permissions, and it never removes a role.

Progress

Each course page shows how many members started and finished. The Educator plan adds the full report: progress for every lesson, members who started and then went quiet, and a CSV export.

Educator tools

The Educator plan is built for trading schools and educators who sell courses through Discord. On top of everything in Pro it adds:

• Unlimited courses and more video storage.
• Drip release. Open a module on a set date, or a number of days after each member starts the course.
• Certificates. Members who finish get a certificate with a picture to share and a public link anyone can use to check it is real. Staff can Revoke a certificate from the course page (for example one issued under an abusive name) with a short reason. Its public link then says it was revoked and no longer shows the name, and the member cannot claim a new one. A revoke cannot be undone.
• The full progress report and CSV export described above.

Turn quizzes into a Trivia set

The course page has a Use in Trivia box. It copies every quiz question in the course into a Trivia question set, so you can run a live Trivia night on what your members just learned. The course stays exactly as it was.

If your plan changes

Plan limits only apply to staff adding new things. If your server moves to a smaller plan, members keep every course, video, schedule and certificate they already have. Staff just cannot add more courses or videos, or turn on the Educator tools, until there is room again. Archiving a course frees up a place.
