Thank you for working through this process with us.
If you've been looking for a well-rounded knowledge base for course creation, you've probably already been disappointed a few times. A lot of courses, books, article series and eLearning packages that promise to teach course content creation tend to fall a little short when it comes to actually creating the content.
This isn't an easy topic to teach. A lot of designers might lean towards the 'you either know it or you don't' approach... but that doesn't help so much when it comes to trying to learn it yourself.
You might have found your way to this course as...
An individual looking to create their own Udemy course as a passive income stream
Someone with a wealth of knowledge on a particular topic that they're keen to share
A member of a team who has been tasked with creating a course on a particular topic at work... with no idea where to start
A small business owner who wants to improve internal training by developing well-structured course materials
Anyone else who might have a beginner interest in how to create awesome learning content.
Instructional designers, although they might seem to be sometimes, are not wizards. They don’t hold the key to incredible learning and training materials through some magic spells. They follow a process that is tried and tested and known to work well. We’re going to demystify that process and unlock its potential as a learning tool so that you’ve got access to the very same hugely valuable knowledge.
This course has been designed to give you the basic tools and understanding to develop your own course, regardless of the platform that you’ve chosen to do that. Whether you’re planning a piece of eLearning, a PowerPoint training course, an eBook or even a drip-fed article series, you can use the process we’ll cover here to create something amazing.
You’ll finish with a familiarity of the ADDIE model that instructional designers all over the world use to structure the development of their courses. You’ll be using all the same techniques that they use every day to develop something that will teach your audience not only effectively, but in a way that they’ll get real enjoyment from it.
We’ll use an example throughout the course to show you how this all works. You’ll have access to multiple supportive resources such as a workbook where you can keep track of your own content development as we move through each part of the course.
Working through the process with us, you'll finish the course with your own complete and hugely effective piece of learning content.
