Don't forget to measure your course ROI

I see a lot of creators leaving out this critical step

If you want to take your course seriously, consider using Kirkpatrick's model for this 👇
🔰Student reaction

Did students enjoy the course?

Deliver post-course surveys instantly upon completion to get the best response rate and, most honest, immediate responses.
🔰Student learning

Did students learn something?

Use pre-and-post course assessments to measure knowledge gain

@CharlotCrowther does an excellent job at this
🔰Student application

Are students completing assignments?

Analyze the results of data gathered in the previous two steps

Compare this to course and assignment completion
🔰Student transformation

Are students experiencing the transformation you promised?

Check in with students a few months after your course

Talk to as many of them as possible

When finalizing your online course, I highly recommend using Gagné's Checklist

Robert M. Gagné pioneered the science of instruction during WWII working with the Army Air Corps training pilots

Here are his 9 Events of Instruction 👇

Does your experience start by grabbing the attention of the student?
2/

Never forget you’re dealing with adults

Frame everything you do around the motivational needs of adult learners

Malcolm Knowles formulated 6 assumptions related to an adult’s motivation for learning

🔽quick thread 🔽
🔰1 - Need To Know

Adults need to know the reason for doing something
🔰 2 - Foundation

Experience (including trial and error) provides the basis for learning activities

A lot of people ask me, what kind of questions do you ask when ghostwriting an online course?

So I decided to make a running list. Here goes...
🔰If you could pick 3 things, what do students absolutely need to know to achieve the transformation you're promising?

3 is the sweet spot for retention. Any more and you risk them missing one

You can also apply this per module or lesson of your course
🔰What skills do students need to complete the transformation?

This one is all about actions - write these with clear verbs, in which the actions can be measured

Emotional connection produces motivation

For students to become and remain motivated, online courses must satisfy four conditions:

☑️capture and maintain attention
☑️hold relevance
☑️promote confidence
☑️deliver satisfaction
Check out my tweets earlier this week about Attention.

For Relevance - knowing the prior knowledge levels of your audience is key

See more here -

And here -
Promote Confidence by including knowledge checks and opportunities for feedback throughout.

The more often your students can test themselves and get recognition for progress, the more they'll connect with that progress and want to continue

If you're creating an online course here are 3 things to keep in mind:

1) We have separate channels for processing verbal & visual info
2) Our working memory has limited capacity
3) Learning requires active processing

The takeaway?
Learning requires the use of both verbal and visual channels to:

∙pay attention to presented material
∙organize it into a structure that makes sense, and
∙integrate it with prior knowledge
Online, both visual and verbal information is originating from the same source: the computer.

There is no presenter walking around a room

No flipchart or slideshow to look at as a break from the presenter

There are no participant questions randomly asked out loud.
