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.
