I’ve recently completed an effort to design a new online course. Mind you, I’ve written many before this, though most are for niche communities, and those users will grab the material and run with it as soon as it is out of my computer.
This time, the course is far more limited in scope, and the audience is distinctly smaller: my peers in the training community. That makes it much tougher!
Originally, I tried something fast and off the cuff, and that’s what I got. (check a sample here) – ok, but not great.
So I took some time, and here is the outline I’ve detailed for the same course, the way I think it SHOULD be done. (Click here for the ‘draft’ course treatment in PDF.)
Next step: I want to develop the course per this outline. It might have to wait a few weeks – the Khrushchev in Iowa, 1959 seminar I’m presenting at Western Iowa Tech Community College is less than 2 weeks away!
