The Breakdown
Summer isn’t just about sunshine and holidays—it’s also when our product team worked hard to ship updates that make Mini Course Generator (MCG) more powerful, accessible, and creator-friendly than ever.
From certificate customization to a brand-new AI Interaction Builder v2, we’ve rolled out features that help you build engaging courses faster, while making sure every learner gets the best possible experience.
Here’s a look back at what we accomplished in June, July, and August 2025.
Certificate Customization: Make Your Brand Shine 🏆
Certificates are more than a piece of paper; they’re proof of learning and a strong branding asset. With our new certificate customization feature, you can now:
- Upload your own certificate images
- Position variables like learner name, course name, and date wherever you like
- Create a design that fully aligns with your brand identity
👉 This premium customization is available on Elite plans, while the standard certificate feature remains in Pro plans.
This is especially useful for coaches, training companies, and academies that want learners to proudly share certificates with consistent branding across social media.

Accessibility Widget: Personalized Learning for Every Student ♿
Inclusivity is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s essential. With our new Accessibility Widget, learners can adapt the course interface to their needs, making MCG courses ADA compliant and WCAG suitable.
Learners can:
- Adjust text size, font spacing, and contrast for better readability
- Enable built-in screen reading
- Customize the experience for visual or cognitive comfort
😎 Unlike most platforms, MCG offers one of the most extensive accessibility toolkits, ensuring every learner feels supported.

AI-Powered Native Screen Reader: Audio at One Click 🔊
Inclusivity is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s essential. With our new Accessibility Widget, learners can adapt the course interface to their needs, making MCG courses ADA compliant and WCAG suitable.
Learners can:
- Adjust text size, font spacing, and contrast for better readability
- Enable built-in screen reading
- Customize the experience for visual or cognitive comfort
This helps learners who prefer auditory learning and makes your courses more engaging overall. Combined with the accessibility widget, MCG is setting new standards for inclusivity in online education.

Seamless Learner Access: Logins Made Smoother 🔐
Some email providers with strict security policies disrupted our passwordless login links by adding extra parameters. To solve this, we added a one-time code system.
This ensures learners:
- Can access gated courses reliably
- Spend less time troubleshooting login issues
Enjoy a frictionless experience from the very first click.
Result: fewer access issues for you, and faster access for your learners.

New Block Type: Audio Upload 🎧
Your voice, your way. Until now, you could embed audio into courses—but now you can also upload your own audio files directly.
Why this matters:
- Share podcasts, lectures, or guided meditations
- Add custom intros and commentary
Create language learning or listening exercises.
This opens up a whole new format for engaging your learners.
Better Upload Experience ⚡
We improved the entire upload flow to make course creation smoother and faster:
- Background uploads: No need to wait on the upload page. Continue editing your course while your video processes in the background.
These changes save valuable time and help you keep your creative momentum without interruptions.
ViaSocket Integration 🔗
Automations just got more flexible. In addition to Zapier, Make, and Pabbly Connect, you can now integrate Mini Course Generator with ViaSocket.
This means you can:
- Connect MCG with your favorite tools
- Automate repetitive workflows
- Create more seamless learner journeys
With ViaSocket, your courses can plug directly into the rest of your tech stack, giving you even more control over your learning ecosystem.
Thumbnails for Uploaded Videos 🎬
First impressions matter. That’s why we added the ability to set custom thumbnails for your uploaded videos.
With this update, you can:
- Select a frame from your video or upload a custom image
- Make your course player look more professional
- Ensure your branding is consistent across all media
This small but powerful detail helps learners recognize your course content instantly and makes your courses feel polished.
AI Interaction Builder v2: Interactivity, Supercharged ✨
Engagement is everything. Our AI Interaction Builder already helped creators add interactivity without coding. With Version 2, it’s now more powerful and flexible.
What’s new in v2?
- Chat-based editing: Refine interactive elements with natural language.
- Direct code editing: For advanced users who want more control.
- Prompt-only creation: No existing text? Just write a prompt, and AI generates the interaction.
Examples of what you can create:
- Personality assessment tests
- Clickable timelines
- Drag-and-drop matching
- Interactive quizzes
👉 MCG remains the only ed-tech platform worldwide with a built-in AI Interaction Builder that works directly from your content or prompts.
This is a game-changer for educators who want to turn passive learning into active participation—without needing a developer or designer.
