Understanding Live Online Workshops
A live online workshop combines scheduled live sessions (via Zoom or built-in webinars) with a course that serves as the home base — hosting resources, recordings, discussions, and assignments. Students register and pay through your course, attend live sessions, then revisit recordings and materials at their own pace.
The Advantages of Live Online Workshops
Here's what makes this model so effective for course creators
All-in-One Hosting
Registration, payment, scheduling, live sessions, recordings, and discussion all in one place. No stitching together separate tools.
Automatic Recording & Replay
Zoom recordings import to your course automatically and stream for students. Miss a session? They can catch up instantly.
Searchable Transcripts
On Pro plans, meetings are automatically transcribed and made searchable, so students can find exactly what they need.
Community Between Sessions
Built-in discussions keep the conversation going between live sessions, deepening engagement and accountability.

“I'm having a great experience with Ruzuku. I needed a place to expand the business, to be able to charge what the class was worth, and to be able to have an auto-delivery system that works for me. I'm really liking the experience!”
