You might believe that to run an online class, you need to produce fancy videos, or worse, amateurish selfies. Neither is the case. You can create successful courses using simple text-based lessons delivered by email. Some of my most profitable courses have been created this way.
Creating an email course is still work, but much less work than trying to produce videos. I've taught online courses for more than twenty years. I've done video, audio, and text-based courses.
Video done well is very difficult and time-consuming. It requires equipment, lighting, and editing software. Starting with video is like telling a child they can't walk until they are able to run a fifty-yard dash in five seconds.
Likewise, email is a simple to use platform that is inexpensive and has a gentle learning curve. Unlike commercial course hosting platforms that cost up to $300 a month for hosting, you can use free email discussion group platforms to distribute your lessons.
This course, though, does more than show you just how to create educational emails. This course shows you how to build an online course based on sound educational principles. I've been teaching professionally for more than forty years. For the last twenty-two years, my focus has been on online education. I have taught more than fifty different courses to over 15,000 students.
You will learn how to determine student learning outcomes, create course outlines, lesson plans, and content, and build an interactive email list.
You will also be able to connect with me and your fellow students for feedback and support.
This introductory course is just $10. Not sure about teaching a class? This is a great way to test the waters.
