The Teach Online Checklist
Ever thought about teaching online but not sure where to start? This checklist will give you the solid foundation you need to build a memorable learning experience. And there’s a five day mini course that follows it too.
What’s included in the checklist?
1. Define the Transformation
Gain clarity on the specific outcome you want your learners to walk away with by the end of the programme.
2. Curriculum Architecture
How to design a curriculum based on the result you want your learners to achieve. Map the steps from A to B.
3. Instructional Design
Recognise how to design an intentional learning experience based on outputs rather than passive consumption.
4. Assessment and Evidence
Understanding the importance of assessing competence, not just retention with strategic assessments.
5. Accreditation & QA
Crafting learning outcomes that properly measure progress and creating a quality assurance framework.
6. Platform Independence
Ensuring your programme can be packaged and moved between platforms if it’s licenced to others.
7. Licensing The Programme
Structuring your programme so it can be easily distributed and delivered by licenced providers.
8. Learner Experience
Completing the checks needed to make sure every module and lesson is designed to deliver on the outcome.
9. Launch Readiness
Preparing to release the course. Setting up a beta tester group and gathering feedback.
The Five Day Email Course
Alongside the checklist, we’ll deliver a five day learning experienced, designed to go deeper into the topics covered in the checklist.
Day One
We’ll look at why deep expertise doesn’t necessarily mean that you can teach an online course. We’ll go back to basics and teach you exactly where curriculum designers start.
Day Two
Creating a simple course structure, building a course map, not a collection of modules. We’ll define a process for module mapping and look at outcomes.
Day Three
It makes sense to look at assessments at the very beginning, rather than as an add on at the end. We’ll look at rubrics, micro assessments and projects.
Day Four
Why you shouldn’t rely too much on one course platform. If you decide to licence your programme, providers may want to deliver it elsewhere. Create it as a standalone product.
Day Five
This is the most important task of all, closing the gap between knowledge and action. We’ll show you how to make sure learners use what they’ve been taught.
