If you built your course on Moodle, Google Classroom, Teachable, or any similar platform, the honest answer is that you own the content but not the course. The videos, PDFs, and lesson text are yours. But the structure that holds it together, the quizzes, the student dashboards, the progress tracking, all of that lives on someone else's infrastructure. If they change their pricing, shut down, or break something in an update, your course goes with it. This matters more than most teachers realize until it happens.
You spend a semester building a course in an app similar to Moodle. A plugin updates overnight and the quiz module stops working. You log into Teachable and find the plan you signed up for no longer exists and your monthly cost has doubled. Google Classroom gets a redesign and three things you relied on have moved or disappeared. None of this is hypothetical. It happens regularly and there is nothing you can do about it because you do not own the underlying code.
When devstem.org builds your course, you receive the complete code. Not a login to a platform. Not a subscription that keeps the lights on. The actual files that run the course, yours to host wherever you choose. There are no plugin dependencies, no third party services that can pull the rug out, and no monthly fee to keep your course alive.
Once it is delivered, it works. Next year it still works. If you stop working with us entirely, it still works.
Teachers who have already been burned by a platform change. Schools that need to know their investment is permanent. Anyone who has spent real time building something and does not want to build it again.
