Membership vs Courses in Ghost

Hi all,
I’m struggling a bit with terminology and how I can use the basic features of Ghost to implement.

First, terminology. Is a subscription newsletter the same as a membership site? Is a course simply a limited number of sequential subscription newsletters?

Now, implementation. If the answers above are “Yes” and “Yes”, can I design a course as, say, eight lessons (posts) and hide them behind a newsletter subscription tier. It would mean that there would be no progress bars, each person subscribing would get everything all at once and their progress would be up to them.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, progress is up to them.

Or… is Podia what I’m looking for?
