Build a course once, sell it infinitely.
Experts who deliver quality training for a living quickly find demand for their courses outstrips capacity to deliver them. Classrooms only hold so many people, there are only so many days a week. That used to leave two choices; either turn away business or employ other trainers. Turning away business is mad. Employing others is risky. There is now another way: move the training online.
Technology costs no longer prohibit this. It’s affordable to even a start-up. So, “How do I put my classroom courses online?”
There are two steps. First, convert the content for online delivery. Second get somewhere to host it.
Online delivery is different to classroom delivery. The materials used in a classroom may not be appropriate online. The good news is widespread availability of low-cost eLearning and video authoring apps. The best of these allow anyone who can handle PowerPoint, web-apps or video editing software to have all the tools needed to build good-looking interactive eLearning. No coding needed. If you’re new to this field, we recommend you start by looking at Elucidat. You’ll making your first multi-device content in minutes.
When you have content you’re happy with – whether it is as basic as powerpoint, PDFs and videos or as complex as fully interactive game-like simulations you need somewhere to host it. You want to make sure only paying customers can access it. This is where a Learning Management System (LMS) comes in. Using the docebo platform you can have a light SMB version of an enterprise-grade LMS catering for up to 50 active for as little as £150 monthly (potentially serving 600 unique users a year). In a world where a single course of niche, quality-assured content can be sold for many thousands of pounds, this offers the opportunity of an extraordinary profit margin.
Build a course, put it online, tell your customers, take the money, let the learners self-serve and go lie on the beach. We can help you with every step of that journey except lying on the beach.
