Make Courses People Love
Gone are the days where "talking head + slideshow" was enough. Today, students expect to be entertained and educated at the same time. That's where mixed formats like animation + screen-recordings + talking-head come into play. Let me walk you through each format, so you can start using them in your teachings.
1. Talking-Head (yourself)
Now that you are the teacher and the expert, it makes a lot of sense that you appear in your course. That's a given. But the result of appearing can be of very varying quality. Let me give you some of my basic tips for how to succeed with the talking-head format.
2. Screen-recordings (your computer)
Walking your students through a process on your screen can be super helpful. If you talk about software, it's essential to actually show your workflow. Screen-recordings are perfect for this. And these are my tips for how to make more professional screen-recordings with a tool like ScreenFlow.
3. Animations (your ideas)
Animation is almost magical. You use your imagination to visualize an idea, a story or a concept through moving illustrations. Would have been impossible to learn 10 years ago.. But today, it's easier than ever. All you need is a sense of direction and a bit of time.
4. Whiteboard animation
Although not a completely new format, whiteboard animation is a type of animation that works really well for teachers, instructors, and coaches. It's fun to watch and easy to create. Let me show you an example of how I shot a video on an iPhone and layered some drawings on top.
5. Eco-system
How much importance do you put on the environment your lessons are going to live in? This is super important. What kind of eco-system do you use to serve your courses to your students? If your content is top-notch, your platform has to be too. I've found my favorites and recommend you choose a similar platform to host your courses if you truly care about the user experience of your students.
