Just to make it clear. So now I can run email courses for my users?
Vladimir Polo
@ruslannaz not really. We still believe that Academies approach is much more effective than email courses. : ) Email courses provide much less interactivity, poor statistics and readers are not focused on your content, as they are distracted by other emails in their inbox. : ) But if you run email courses, you can easily shift from that and transform your content into a much more effective Academy (either for your current customers, or for lead generation).

Hey product hunters! Some of you may remember the History of Product Hunt which we featured back in April this year. Well, today my team and I are pleased to present to you our latest Academy — Gmail Academy. It’s a collection of courses about the new Gmail and all its features. Initially, we created it for our internal use to improve the productivity of new team members at AcademyOcean. This was very important for our team since some of us spend several hours every day in our Inboxes. But after receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from people who finished the courses, we decided to share this academy with other people. Our Gmail Academy has two courses: Basic course — covers all the basic settings and new Gmail features. It will be useful to anyone who switches to Gmail or just wants to refresh their knowledge. Advanced course — covers more in-depth features and settings, plus looks at some of the most useful add-ons to boost Gmail productivity. Hope you will enjoy this Academy as much as we did enjoy making it. PS: feel free to share it with anyone who may want a boost to their Gmail skills ;)

It is great courses for teaching people who don’t know how to use Gmail and for saving time for teachers)

Also, Advanced course is a very cool hint for upgrading knowledge in Gmail.

But, as I understand, the Academy Ocean is a platform for creating different courses.

Pros:

1. simple explanations

2. good design

3. chose cool features

Cons:

I didn’t know some things about Gmail(

Gala Pryhodko
Hi! Can I use it for teaching people how to use Gmail? For example, grannies, grandpas or juniors?
Vladimir Polo
@galyna_prykhodko sure! It is absolutely free, so you can share it with every person you think might need these gmail skills : )
Katia Sizova
So cool! Structured, comprehensive and visual. Gmail should make it a part of its Knowledge Base!
Vladimir Polo
@gatanetpeak thank you, Katia! : )
Konstantin Cherviakov

Somebody can say that fancy design can distract.
