Understanding Steppit Terminology

Resource for

All Channels

Here are a few terms that we use across Steppit: 

  • Courses guide your learners from one skill level to the next. Think of each course as a book. Courses are made up of units.

    • Units each represent a week's worth of content on your course. Think of them like chapters of your book. Units are made up of sessions.
    • Sessions are step-by-step lessons, experiences or projects that can be started and finished in one go (usually lasting between 15 minutes and 2 hours). Think of them like pages of a chapter. Sessions are made up of steps.
    • Steps are the major chunks of a session. Think of them like paragraphs on a page. Steps are made up of bits.
    • Bits are your building blocks of content – they can be video clips, audio clips, images or just plain text. Think of them like sentences within a paragraph.
  • Classes are groups of learners on your courses. You can encourage, connect and chat with them as they post photos and make progress.

  • Spaces are placements in your classes. You can then sell spaces for your course from your channel.

  • Channels are where creators host and sell courses on Steppit. You can customize your channel to match your style.

  • Course landing pages are where learners go to enroll in your course. They can be accessed from your channel.
