I just made a new resource on how to write a course. Why? Because I found that so many courses were just ‘streams of consciousness’. They have lots of information, but they are not in a course format. So, I decided to write a guide to take people right through how to get the course written. Here’s an excerpt from that resource.
What, Why, Who, When, Where, Whata��s Next
The first thing you should do when you decide to write a course is to answer these six ‘W’ questions.
1. What course do you want to create?
Focus and define exactly the course you want to teach.A� Too many courses are too broad. They don’t have a focus. Here’s your chance to zero in on what you really want to accomplish.
Do you see this course as an overview?A�A�A�A� An introduction?A� Comprehensive?A�A�A� A series?
2. Why?A� Your compelling reason(s) to create this course
Warning: a compelling reason is not that you want people to know or understand things. That’s nice, but it doesn’t go far enough. What challenges or problems will be solved by your attendees as they finish this course?
3. Who is this course for?
Define your audience. Zero in on exactly who they are, their experience and expertise, and other defining attributes about them
Ask yourself: What is their level of learning in your topic right now?
Who would not benefit from your course?
Do you need to narrow your scope for this course?
4. Where (type of delivery)
That is, will this course be delivered ‘live’, via webinar, audio, video, or a combination?
5. When? How long do you think your course needs to be?
A�6. Whata��s next? A series? Can or should you put your course into 2 or more sections?
Remember the rule of learning: spaced repetition provides much better learning.
