...And so much more!!!There are two major types of online courses: mini-courses and transformational courses.
Mini-courses focus on helping students learn a skill or make slight improvements. They usually consist of only lessons, PDF workbooks, and resource guides as the participants would be expected to go through the lessons on their own.
Transformational courses, on the other hand, focus on helping the students to go through a complete transformation. Every step of the way, they need some form of additional support and mentoring from the course creator. In addition to the lessons, workbooks, and resource guides, the course creator would be expected to be available to answer questions and give feedback.
The length of time it will take your student to go through your online course is usually dependent on what type of online course it is.
Mini-courses are not complicated and the lessons can be consumed in a short period. Transformational courses take more time because it takes a while to get people to change. A good one should last for 60 - 90 days.
Anything longer than 90 days is usually too long, as your students might get tired or lose interest.
Google is undoubtedly one of the best things that happened in our lifetime, but it is only a search engine. It curates information. Anytime you search for a phrase, it gives you too much information, and many times, people don't know where to start from or which of the information is relevant.
In the fast-paced society we live in, a lot of people are looking for exact systems and formulas that can help them get the results they desperately need.
They don't have the time to search through all the information they find on Google, testing them out one after the other, to see which will work and which ones won't.
They are looking for exact results and a proven system to help them get those results. This is what online courses offer.
