Webinar: Jill Morelli / Developing, Marketing & Teaching an Online Course: 3 Examples, 7 Decision Points

As a teacher of successful and not so successful online classes, I have learned to engineer and re-engineer a course to make it work for me and for the students. With the experience of three different online courses in two different organizations, this presentation will outline some of the pitfalls and the rewards of online teaching. We will review the 7 decision points you will need to address and the lessons learned, whether its a one-of-a-kind course like the Certification Discussion Group or the Applied Genealogy Institute with an ever changing selection of course material. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Even the financial and legal structures of each will be shared. Come hear about what happens behind the curtain!
