Lyceum: Resources

Lyceum is your own course platform: build courses from chapters and lessons, sell them via Stripe, track progress and issue certificates, on your server, without revenue share.

What's new

2026-08-10Update 0.9.0: CertificatesFinishing a course now yields a certificate: with a number that gives nothing away, publicly verifiable without an account.2026-08-09Update 0.6.1: Accounts and accessNew accounts are created by invitation rather than a starting password, the forced change actually applies, and access is logged.2026-08-08Update 0.6.0: Sales controlOffers can be edited and stopped, inline in the row, without a dialog. And roles now actually take effect.

One operator, any number of courses

Lyceum is built for the case course providers actually have: one operator with several courses, not a marketplace for third-party sellers. That removes half the complexity of a multi-tenant platform and makes every view faster and simpler.

Your buyers' path is short: browse the catalogue, try one lesson for free, buy directly, start learning. No cart, no detours. Access is not created in the browser but in the confirmed payment event. Close the tab right after paying and you still get your course.

Videos never sit at a freely reachable address. Every delivery asks the same single entitlement check first. A forwarded link is worthless to anyone who has not paid.
