What it is
A student management system for online courses is a web app that tracks every enrolled student's module progress, completion status, cohort, and assessment scores in one database. It gives a course creator a clear roster of who is active, who has finished, and who has stalled, without living in spreadsheets.
What your online courses student management tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for online courses.
Student name & email
Identifies each enrolled learner and their point of contact.
Enrolled course(s)
Records which course or bundle the student joined so access is scoped correctly.
Cohort / enrollment date
Groups students by intake for cohort-based courses and marks when self-paced learners started.
Module/lesson progress
Shows how far through the curriculum each student has moved.
Completion status
Marks not started / in progress / completed so drop-off is easy to spot.
Assessment/quiz scores
Stores results on graded checkpoints to gauge understanding, not just consumption.
Last-active date
Acts as an engagement signal for catching students before they disappear.
Certificate/completion status
Tracks whether a student has earned completion or a certificate.
Access/payment status
A paid/active flag that gates a student's enrollment and login.
What good looks like for online courses
One app, a view for everyone
Course creator/owner
Total enrollment, completion rates, and where students drop off.

Individual student progress, who has stalled, and assessment results.

Frequently asked questions
Does Kleap host my course videos and lessons?+
No. Kleap does not host or stream video. It builds the surrounding student-management system such as enrollment, progress, completion, and scores, while you host videos on your own platform like YouTube or Vimeo and track progress here.
Can it sell course access and take payments?+
No. Kleap does not process payments. It tracks a paid/access status you set after collecting payment elsewhere, and can gate a student's login on that status.
How do I track module completion and drop-off?+
Each student record holds module-progress, completion-status, and last-active fields, so you can filter for students who have stalled and see exactly where in the curriculum they stopped.
Can I run a cohort with logins for each student?+
Yes. You can set up role-based student logins and a cohort field, so each learner sees their own progress and scores while you manage the whole cohort from the staff dashboard.
