How do you make your course not boring?
Hi Ian, I agree that the text in online courses can be boring but it doesn't have to be. For that matter, images and video can be just as boring if they are cliché or poorly done.
My view is that the copy writing is key to the success of any course or video. The visuals should support the copy.
I am a beta tester for Storyline 360 and I started developing an online design course as a way to test the new beta features. I'll never finish it but over the years I have managed to pull together some good stuff. One section is on copy writing. It is not finished but I have shared the section here so that you can see some of the things you can do to keep a text-based course interesting ( at least I hope you find it interesting).
Note: one of the next things I need to do is change the colour of the text because it does not meet accessibility standards.
