Your design intent
disappears by Week 4.
You spent months thinking about how your course should land. The sequence, the themes, the way each week builds on the last. You designed a journey.
Then semester started. Modules filled up, due dates appeared, and by Week 4 your course homepage looked like every other Canvas shell, a list of things to do with no signal of where students are, what matters now, or where the whole thing is going.
A student opening your course on a Monday morning in Week 8 sees the same page they saw on Day 1. The arc you designed is invisible. They don't know what they need to do. They don't know what week they're in. And every week, every student, does that work of figuring it out again from scratch.
This is not a Canvas problem. Canvas does what it was designed to do. The problem is that a course is a journey, and journeys need to know what week it is.
Where do I begin?
What do I need to do this week?
What do I need to do to finish?
A thread through your course.
From the first,
week to the last.
Thredly is a dynamic course guide. It sits inside your Canvas course, knows what week it is, and shows your students what they need to see, right now, not when semester started.
You configure it once before semester begins. From there, it runs itself.
The educator thinks in weeks. Canvas thinks in dates. Thredly does the translation once, and never asks anyone to do it again.
Select a point in the semester. See what your students see.
Configured once. Runs itself from there.
For the academic who designed a course they are proud of, and watched that design disappear behind a wall of modules by Week 4. You know what the course is supposed to feel like. Your students don't.
For the learning designer who has been solving this problem manually for years. The weekly announcements, the page updates, the repeated answers to the same orientation questions. You already know what this costs. You have just never had a tool built around fixing it.
Two problems. One thread.
Help shape what
thredly becomes.
Thredly is in active development. We are working with a small
group of academics and learning designers whose courses are
shaping what it becomes. Early access means direct input
into the product direction, and something your students
will benefit from this semester.
We are not building a sales funnel.
We are looking for courses worth learning from.
