New Feature: Community Boards
Happy New Year! Or, depending on where your heritage and heart lie, today might just be another Friday. You might be counting down to the Lunar New Year in February, or perhaps your year already shifted months ago with the Hijri calendar.
The truth is, even a “new year” doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone.
At Mini Course Generator, our North Star is the belief that one size never fits all. We know that your teaching style, your learners, and your goals are diverse, so your platform should match this. This philosophy is exactly what drives our development: we don’t build rigid boxes; instead, we prioritize diversity and flexibility.
This approach is also the logic behind our newest (and most requested) feature: Community Boards.
Most course creation platforms force community interaction into a separate, lonely tab, far away from the actual learning content. We took a different approach. We’ve turned community spaces into a block type that you can drag and drop anywhere.
We believe there is huge potential for education-driven communities and social learning within course design. From high-touch cohort-based programs to self-paced asynchronous courses, these spaces are designed to improve how your learners connect in the “right time, right place.”
There are endless ways to use these blocks to boost engagement. Check out this page for ideas and inspiration.
2025 in Review: What've we added
From deeper AI capabilities to more comprehensive features, 2025 was a year of fruitful growth. Here is a quick look at how we’ve improved the platform to better address your unique needs:
What's Next?
We are hitting the ground running this year. We are currently working to make Mini Course Generator even more interactive by introducing new creative elements alongside our AI Interaction Builder.
Additionally, we are developing a new “Badges & Rewards” block to celebrate learner milestones in real-time, designed to turn progress into motivation. Stay tuned for more details!

Whichever calendar you follow, we wish you a great year, and wish the whole world peace above all else.
Peace.
