Show Notes:

Let’s talk all things Notion.   

If you are not familiar with Notion, it is an all-in-one workspace.  It can do just about anything you want it to do – it is a single space where you can think, write and plan anything you want.   It takes planning and project management to the next level.    If you haven’t looked at Notion, go have a look – the link is: https://www.notion.so/

Notion can also be used to host course content and guides, workshops, modules and lessons.  It isn’t a course platform as such, but because it is a completely blank page you can make it into one.   

If you have found yourself limited by a platform because you want more flexibility with your branding, or you want to break things into more than just lessons and modules, then Notion might be something to consider. 

The downside is also that it is too flexible – opening a blank page can be incredibly overwhelming if you don’t know what to do.    It’s also important to remember that it isn’t a course platform, and therefore isn’t designed to host courses or show you all the data that specific course platforms can. 

Things to consider if you are thinking about trying Notion:

  1. It is free so great to experiment with.
  2. It a blank slate & therefore has a lot of flexibility.
  3. It gives you the opportunity to be smart about the way you build a content database.
  4. If you want all the functionality that comes with a course platform, Notion is probably not for you. 

 Action Steps:

If you found this interesting, then by all means go and look at Notion and see if it could work for you. If you have a course platform that is working for you though, then stick with it. If you know you need some of the functionality of a course platform, then don’t get distracted by this podcast!
