How to Develop a Course for Rising Awareness?

Oct 11, 2023

Based on the book The Accidental ID by Cammy Bean, the author mentioned that in general, there are 3 main reasons for learning experiences: raising awareness, developing knowledge and skills, and changing behavior. I am a novice instructional designer and have worked on some online and onsite courses targeting the last two types. I haven't worked on any course or program to raise awareness before and would like to know if there are any useful tips, advice, or frameworks for that.

I would appreciate it if you shared anything insightful :)

Hi Mustafa and welcome to the community! 🎉 I haven't read the book yet but thought I'd share an example course that I think does a good job of raising awareness on a given topic. Here it is:

Rise 360: Food Allergy Awareness

Be sure to read the description before clicking to view the example. Allison does a great job of explaining her thought process behind creating this course. One thing that stands out is tailoring your course to specific audiences. She even provides a link to another example on the same topic but for a different audience so you can see the different approaches. Hopefully, that sparks some ideas!
