This book is for anyone who is interested in creating e-learning courses to teach a skill, share a passion, or cultivate a community of learners. There are plenty of ways to share information online, but not all methods are created equal—and not all online courses are as effective as they could be in reaching their audience. Perhaps you're an educator who has been teaching for many years would like to make the transition to hybrid and/or online learning. Maybe you're a training and development specialist, and you want to create online training and professional development courses. Or maybe you're a hobbyist looking to share your passion for photography, cooking, or another area with a community of learners who want more robust interactions than static, one-way videos. Create E-learning Courses People Want can help with all of those scenarios. It doesn't get bogged down in technical tutorials of specific learning management systems; this is a flexible, accessible, platform-agnostic approach to designing online courses that includes templates and worksheets for planning, designing, storyboarding, and evaluating your course. It's a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the processes of instructional design, the sciences supporting e-learning and ultimately applying this knowledge to create successful e-learning courses that people want.
