# Using Arc Shared Spaces as Course Containers

> Package and distribute structured curriculum using Arc browser's shared Spaces feature

This technique uses Arc browser's shared Spaces feature to build lightweight, web-native courses. By structuring modules as folders and lessons as individual tabs or video links, creators can distribute an entire curriculum via a single shared URL without needing an LMS.

## How it works

Convert a whole online course into a shareable set of Arc tabs using shared Spaces: folders for modules, tabs for lessons, YouTube videos, etc. Share via an arc.net/space link. Grant suggests you could build an entire curriculum this way. (Inspired by Patrick Moberg's video course format.)

## What it is for

- Distribute a free online curriculum without hosting a dedicated learning platform
- Organize research or reading lists into structured modules for students or colleagues
- Package onboarding materials and tool setups for new team members

## Key points

- Uses folders to represent course modules or units
- Organizes individual lessons and resources as pinned tabs within folders
- Shares the entire structured workspace via a single arc.net link
- Allows recipients to import and interact with the structure in their own Arc browser

## Pricing

Free (built-in Arc browser feature)
