MATHalino Now Offers Online Courses

This is not an announcement or promotional post. This is about my experience in building the platform for online courses.

 

Creating an online course is monumental specially to a small website like MATHalino. Despite being manned by one person from the ground up, the development of this functionality is actually progressing by degrees. I've been conceiving this feature as far as I can recall, way before online courses become a common thing in the Philippines. What makes me unable to implement it before comes from three factors.
