For those who are in business or are wanting to start creating online courses, you will appreciate my latest online course, "How to create an online course."
You can literally create an online course about any topic or industry. You can even use this resource to create training courses for your staff to learn more about a topic. The person writing the course does need to be a subject matter expert in the topic you are creating the course on.
I did complete the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and also Train the trainer course.
I only create courses that I am a subject matter expert on and that of which I feel people are seeking some guidance in the area taught on.
That's why I created an online course for other businesses and individuals to learn what's acceptable, how it works, it doesn't have to always be all video content either. I am a writer, so I find writing and creating courses much easier in PDF format for individual's to print.
Why create online courses?
Self-growth is higher than ever. Every year, I choose 2-4 areas to self-develop in professionally and personally and I know I am not the only person out there who wants to self-grow.
What type of online courses can be created:
- Think about what your business industry is in?
- Then think about, what you consider to be general knowledge but actually your customers or even you staff don't know much about the topic?
- Are you a subject matter expert about the topic?
- Can you create a beginner's online course with your knowledge?
Why create activities in your online course?
Activities are so important. You don't just want to write the content for the individual to read and hope it absorbs in and the same for the video content. It is not ideal to just speak the knowledge. That isn't a course. That is information. You need to break down the format and include activities.
Activities are important because it helps the individual take your learned knowledge and put it into practice and imprint their minds with your knowledge.
Activities just simply help the individual to learn quicker and bring it into their world.
How to create an online course?
It's super simple. Pending if you want to write a course in word and then PDF it so individuals can print it out and use it as a workbook. Or you can create videos and use a word document to give the individual links to your content. Or there are online course formats available at online stores where the individual can pay for your course and then as they progress through it, the course gets a tick on each module once complete.
Just remember whatever you create a course; you make it fun and visually appealing.

Here is a review from Dr Nikki Jamieson of my online course, "How to create an online course:"
Great little resources especially for the beginners who don't really know where to start. Takes some of the hard work out of the initial thinking/scoping and helps to provide a basic plan to help you along the way to develop an online course.
Plus, you can re-use this online course every time you create a new online course for your business as a checklist/workbook to ensure you include everything in your course.
