Course Creation Bites

Show Notes:
What makes a course, a course?  In this episode, we talk about the 5 differences between just content and a really good course:

• Structure and order
• Guided implementation
• Support
• Assessment
• Feedback

Action Step:

Have a think about the 5 differences and apply one of them to your course.  Once you've done that with one, have a think about if and how the others can be applied to your course.

Building a course can be a long journey, so how do you stay motivated to get it finished?  In this episode, I'll take you through my 4  favourite strategies you can use to stay on track:

• Accountability - tell people!
• Put a deadline on it
• Celebrate each baby step
• Schedule working time

Action Step:

Use at least one of the motivation strategies - tell someone else that you're going to get the course done, set a deadline, share your baby steps, schedule your time.  If you want a group to share with, come on over to the Content Into Courses Facebook Group!
