Expert course creator Janet Kafadar joins us on this episode of LMScast with Chris Badgett of LifterLMS. Janet shares her insights on instructional design and tips on how to prepare slides for teaching online courses. Chris and Janet talk about the many roadblocks that stand in the way of entrepreneurs building courses online and how to bypass them and create engaging content.

Janet has been working with experts in various fields to turn their knowledge into online courses for around four years now. She shares the story of the formation of her company and the key tips she has learned about course design.

Many people who build online courses focus solely on the content and not enough attention is paid to the instructional design aspect. Chris and Janet emphasize how important it is to put a lot of work into the course design and functionality upfront, so less editing and revising of course material to fit in with the outline is required later.

Course building can appear to be a daunting amount of work when viewed as a whole, but it can be broken down into segments. And with proper planning up front, a lot of the hardships can be alleviated. Janet shares the strategies her company uses to build courses with their clients, and how you can employ similar strategies to improve your course building abilities.
