Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Online Course

This guide provides a simplified version for creating your online course on LearnWorlds. If you are able to follow through the steps, you will create your desired courses.

Step 1 - Have a Clearly Defined Topic

It's safe to assume that almost everyone has a topic for their course before starting out. But if you don't have one, now is the right time to decide on a topic for your course.

And in doing this, you have to consider factors like knowledge level, market size, and profit potential. These three factors will give you a good picture of what topic to create for your students.

Step 2 - Research and Plan Course Outline

All schools ought to have their own course outline, no matter the size. You will have to conduct extensive research, so you can get all information you need about your topic.

Find out as much as possible about your competitors and what they're doing. Learn from them, both their successes and failures in handling their schools.

Also, find out how they organize their pricing plans to enable you to decide on yours. All your findings will help you design and structure your course and its outline.

You must go into the business of online training fully prepared. It is at this stage that you will produce a clearly-defined objective for your course.

Step 3 - Producing Course Content

This is the stage where you produce all the content for your online course.

You will need to be cautious and diligent in the way you gather your course materials. Ensure that all data and information in your courses are from trusted sources.

And to help you achieve the best in this phase, here are the content types you need to include:

• Videos
• PDF files
• Quizzes
• Audio
• Screencasts
• Presentations
• Blog Posts
• Graphic designs

Step 4 - Tools

Select the presentation tools that you will be using to deliver your courses. The most common are text, videos, and audio.

Whichever tools you decide on, LearnWorlds provides a way for your students to interact with you.

Step 5 - Build a Community

You may decide to build a community at any time you like, but doing it early is better.

It helps to build followers around your brand, school, or courses. And through this platform, you can better engage with all your students.
