Show Notes:
I talk a lot about course mapping.
It's one of my most popular services, it's the starting point for most of my client work, and I highly recommend it for all course creators before you start to build out your content.
So in this weeks episode we're digging into a few key points about course mapping.
- What is a course map? It is a document that outlines all the modules, lessons, tasks and content that is going to form part of your course. It's the process that takes all of your ideas and notes and puts them into one logical straightforward piece. Once completed, it gives you a step-by-step guide or plan to get you from no course to finished course.
- How do you course map? You could course map into Word, Excel, Trello, Asana or Google Docs. Whatever tool you prefer, stick with that. The only thing that is important is that all your information ends up in a clear format in one place.
- Why should I build a course map? There are two reasons. One, because it will put everything into a logical, succinct format that guides you in your course creation journey. Secondly, it helps you make informed decisions on important things like how much your course should cost, what platform you should put it on, how much help should you outsource.
