Online course launch checklist
Check content, payments, policies, quality, learner access, launch communication, retention, and updates before publishing.
Editable teaching workflow
Test the complete learner path
Use a fresh account to verify discovery, payment or access, content, assignment, submission, feedback, and support.
Define quality before promotion
A launch cannot compensate for missing evidence, unclear audience, broken mobile content, or inaccessible practice.
Schedule post-launch decisions
Choose when you will review traffic, activation, lesson completion, feedback, support load, and conversion.
Common mistake: launch as a one-day event
The first cohort or purchasers provide evidence that should change the programme and offer.

Common questions
Can I use this template without SubSchool?
Yes. Copy or download it and use it in any editor. SubSchool is useful when you want to turn the same structure into an assignable, trackable workflow.
Do I need to enter an email to download it?
No. The reusable version is available directly on this page.
Can I adapt the fields?
Yes. Remove fields that do not change a teaching decision and add subject-specific evidence where it is useful.
Turn the page into a real teaching workflow
Keep the result editable, connect it to learners, and preserve teacher review.
