Description
This course is unlike any other on the Internet. Please read the following description and see if you agree.
In this course, I record myself recording and editing a 30 minute sample course on how to create online courses. I use Camtasia 2019 to record the sample course and Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 to prepare presentation slides and the course card image for the course. I use Camtasia 2018 to record myself doing this -- preparing all the materials from scratch all the way from PowerPoint sides through recording to editing and rendering finished MP4 lecture videos. I then record the process of publishing a sample lecture video on YouTube and the entire sample course on Udemy, Skillshare and Teachable. Periodically you'll be prompted to perform a project to reinforce your learning. A green screen talking head image of me will be in the lower-right-hand corner of the screen the whole time.
In this course you will see me record, edit and publish a 32-minute, 3 section and 5 lecture course from scratch in real time.
The course that I create is available for free on Udemy (it is also included in this course) and is named:
Introduction to Online Course Creation
Through watching this course, and then pausing the video to repeat what I just demonstrated, you will develop the following essential online course creation skills:
Record and edit screencast software demonstrations with Camtasia 2019
Record and edit PowerPoint presentations with Camtasia 2019
How to render MP4 videos of your lectures
Pan, zoom and add transitions in the Camtasia Video Editor
Add a canned introduction, music and lower thirds from the Camtasia Library
Import external images, video and music to your recording with Camtasia 2019
Record and edit webcam and green screen video with Camtasia 2019
Create presentation slides and course card images with Microsoft PowerPoint 2016
Publish a sample video on YouTube
Publish the sample course on Udemy
Publish the sample course on SkillShare

If you want to not only "learn" how to create and publish online but "see" the entire process, then this is the course for you. You know it works because you'll see everything I do to prepare, record, edit and publish a sample course.
Don't forget Udemy's 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee. That should make your decision to take this course a no-brainer.
So, I'll see you in the classroom,

I was born in the middle of the last century in Los Angeles, California. After moving for a time to the Silicon Valley, I graduated from Humboldt State University amid the redwoods of Northern California.
Two weeks after graduation I was working as a computer systems programmer for Lockheed Missiles and Space (LMSC) back in the Silicon Valley. Two months after that and I was married as I have been happy ever since (for 40 years).
After 14 years at Lockheed, I moved from working on IBM mainframes to using PCs running the Unix operating system and encountered a thing called the Internet. Cisco Systems seemed to be the right place to work, so I joined the company as their 650th employee. Eleven years later Cisco had grown to over 20,000 employees.
I retired at the age of 48 and instantly became bored!
Throughout my professional career, I'd always enjoyed both writing and providing technical training. So, I attended creative writing classes at my local junior college and began to write.
I managed to write and self-publish a handful of books, but things didn't take off until my wife, Melanie Jackson, an established author with a New York company, left traditional publishing to join me in self-publishing.
In 10 years, from 2010 to now, Melanie and I have made half-a-million dollars self-publishing well over 100 books. I also managed to record a pair of audiobooks for Amazon and Audible sale.
By 2014, our rapid rise to Kindle fame had already dwindled. I decided to pursue my second passion of giving training presentations.
Since 2014 I've published over 48 online video training courses for training sites such as Udemy and Skillshare. My goal is to provide low-cost high-quality screencast-based educational material focusing on my areas of expertise; namely, self-publishing and book cover design using the GIMP. I continue to expand my video training catalog while focusing some energy on resurrecting our flagging book sales using various marketing techniques. Finally, I spend a portion of my time maintaining both my website and my wife’s website, which was developed using WordPress.
I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada, with my lovely wife and Butterscotch the cat.
I'll see you in the classroom,
