On the homepage of Bitesize Bio, you'll see their courses featured at the top of their webpage. The banner entices the user to enroll by revealing the benefits of the course. It promises to help you improve in a specific skill that is important to a lot of scientists and academics and researchers, it's impossible not to hit the "enroll" button!

In Action
The settings for access to your course permit you to set some criteria to determine how a user gains and maintains access to the course. It is possible to set your course to be completely free, without registration, with a single-time payment, subscriptions that renew or even a recurring subscription.
If you set a course as free, no payment is required, but a user is required to sign up or log in for access. The Free access mode is an ideal option if you want to manually enroll students into the course and collect their email addresses. With an email list it is possible to send newsletters advertising your other course offerings when they are accessible.
Focus Mode Keeps Learners Engaged
When you enable Focus Mode, your main navigation and footer elements are eliminated from your page. Navigation for courses is always displayed in a sidebar tray, as well as course progress in the center of the screen. You can control the flow of the course using Next/Previous and Mark Complete, or Back to the course. You can also still access your account from the upper right-hand corner.
Focus Mode is an appealing feature that helps keep students engaged in the coursework, rather than other tabs of their browser. Paired with the gamification of a progress bar, it is likely to increase levels of engagement and less time spent on the course with Focus mode enabled.
