Happy Monday to you & welcome to a new week of possibilities!
As we embrace the start of another week, remember any time life’s challenges attempt to damper your spirits - you are an Everyday Knowledge Warrior, ready to conquer the week - and digital defeat! - with strategy, determination, and a systematic approach.
A New Journey: Transforming Online Courses with Instructional Design
I recently shared my plan to launch "Transform Your Online Course in 30 Days with Essential Instructional Design Principles" starting June 1st. However, after careful consideration and valuable feedback from members of the Systematic You community, I've decided to take a slightly different approach to better serve you and your course creation needs.
Introducing the July Sprint Program
Instead of daily posts throughout June, I will be hosting a month-long sprint program in July called "The Course Creator's Sprint: 31 Days to Elevate Your Online Courses with Instructional Design." This program is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in instructional design principles and actionable strategies to enhance your online courses.
What to Expect in the July Sprint
Each week of the sprint program will focus on a key aspect of instructional design:
Week 1: Introduction to Instructional Design for Online Creators
Week 2: Engaging Your Learners
Week 3: Ensuring Learner Success
Week 4: Next Steps and Continuous Improvement
Throughout the program, you'll receive bite-sized lessons, practical tips, and quick assignments to help you apply the concepts directly to your own course creation process. The goal is to provide you with insights and strategies that you can implement immediately to improve your courses and create meaningful learning experiences for your students.
Community and Support
One of the most valuable aspects of the The Course Creator's Sprint will be the opportunity to connect with fellow course creators, share your progress, and receive feedback and support from both myself and the community. We'll be learning and growing together, celebrating our successes, and motivating each other to keep pushing forward.
Preparing for the July Sprint
Throughout June, I'll be sharing more details about The Course Creator's Sprint, including related content, insights into how instructional design can revolutionize your online courses, and behind the scenes (also known as "building in public") details about how I'm preparing for this sprint. Keep an eye out for these updates, as they'll help you get ready to dive into the program come July.
The 8-Week Cohort Program
For those looking to take their instructional design skills to the next level, I'm excited to announce that I will also be hosting an 8-week cohort program later this year.
The July sprint will provide a solid foundation in instructional design principles and strategies. For those looking to take their skills to the next level, the upcoming cohort program will offer a more in-depth, hands-on experience.
Whether you're designing a course from scratch or looking to redesign an existing one, the cohort will guide you through the process of applying advanced instructional design techniques to create a truly effective and engaging online course. You'll have the opportunity to work on your own course project, receive personalized feedback, and collaborate with fellow course creators as you bring your vision to life.
More details on this exciting opportunity will be shared soon!
