How to Create Online Content
Step-by-Step

In 2008 I wanted to create an online product that would extend my reach beyond the couch. What I created was www.masteringanger.com—a web portal focused exclusively on providing high-quality anger management online. All of the technology involved in the delivery of these online classes was custom designed—meaning that someone wrote the code that became the building blocks of the course-delivery system we dubbed Simplicity. I filed a patent for Simplicity, but later abandoned the application because so many other players in the market had begun to replicate the system.
However, the appearance of other market players and my doctoral-level training in learning and development confirmed my position that the basic elements of an engaging course can be delivered to the public. I will tell you also that it’s easier than ever to deliver these kinds of courses. The basic elements are:

Content

Content

You can write original content yourself; you can draw on your previous social-media posts or blogs’ content; you can have someone write the content for you; or you can work with other authors to create compilations. Bear in mind that content does not have to be exclusively written; it can also be in the form of audio, video, graphics, or pics, in any combination.

Content Holder

Content Holder

This is a key technical component of your system. This is where you upload your first set of content and make adjustments over time. The system that holds your content should 1) be WordPress-compatible and 2) make it easy for you to access and change content any time with ease. I have a few good options.

Assessment-Delivery System

Assessment-Delivery System

To make your course more professional, it’s essential to have some way of assessing how well your students retained the content. Assessments also provide students with feedback on how well they have done. Your online program should include some kind of quiz.

Payment System

Payment System

A payment system will act as a gateway to giving students access to your course. You can accept payments one-time or over time.

Certificate-Delivery System

Certificate-Delivery System

A certificate allows your students to feel proud of what they have achieved. If you’re offering a certification program, the certificate is also a must. There are many programs out there that allow you to easily create branded certificates. The delivery system must also be automated, so that students who reach certain milestone are sent a certificate immediately.

Mobile compatible

Another really important aspect of your online program is that it should be mobile compatible. Here is my mobile online course website developed in 2014. www.mobileangerclass.com If you’re seeking help in developing an online program give me a call. Let’s talk about how to make this happen for you.

As you contemplate creating an online class, let me tell you that you’re extremely lucky. When I first embarked on creating online courses, I invested at least $15,000 in course design and delivery. With existing technology, you can do this for much less. So congratulations to you. The barrier to creating the most awesome course ever is very low.

About Us

This website represents a vision of mine to extend a social movement where well educated counselors extend their talents beyond the couch. For too long those who have been highly trained to be partners in the emotional healing of individuals have confined themselves to the couch. This is unfortunate because we have so much more to offer.
