The purpose of launching your online classes should be clear. Determine your business metric and
the
impact you want to create through the courses. If you are an established business you could be
taking online classes for different purposes. For example, one of the reasons could be to train
your
clients about how to use certain tools.
Business goal: Define what are the financial and other growth outcomes you expect to
bring into your
business through your courses.
Teaching Goal: Define the teaching goals behind the launch of your course. Whether to
help your
clients master a tool or to teach a subject or help your customers use your products
better.
Learning objectives: You need to clearly define what your learners will achieve by the
end of the
course.
Divide the whole module into folders and sub-folders, containing topics and sub-topics. While
planning out the whole module, keep in mind the learning objective.
Keep yourself in the place of the learners and try to determine the flow of your course content
that would be most effective.
Plan out a combination of the form of content that would be more
engaging. Our educators who create audiovisual content like videos or teach online live classes
have apparently seen higher engagement.
Once you are done with the module planning, establish a tentative delivery timeline for those
content. Make sure you document them.
The real work comes into play at this step. You would start creating online course content at this step. However, the process need not be time-consuming.
Now that you are done with the substantial part of creating online classes, it’s time to deliver
it to your target audience. You have to plan on how to effectively deliver your course to your
learners. The accessibility of your course is just as important as the content itself. If
learners can’t access your course, they would never be able to see the course content.
By “accessibility” we’re referring to a learner’s first encounter with the course. It could be
the course link or landing page. Structure the process of discovering your course of buying them
in a way that is easy to navigate and value-filled.
