To create a successful course, we recommend organizing it into sections and lessons that move students through topics in an orderly and thoughtful manner. Chapters should be tailored to your learning objectives and include lectures that cover concepts and practical opportunities for students to achieve those objectives.
In general, each section should meet a learning objective and each lesson should cover a concept or activity. Outline your online course and indicate the sections and lectures you will prepare, including the activities and assessments you will get to help students apply what they have learned.
When creating your outline, keep in mind the format that each lesson will fit into. G-Talent supports video and text lectures, quizzes, coding exercises, assignments, and practice tests.
How to create your course outline in G-Talent?
Create a curriculum
Think of your lesson as a story. It should contain three parts: introduction, body, and conclusion, which follow a logical approach to develop knowledge in a clear and meaningful way.
Introduce
This is roughly equivalent to the first 10 minutes of your lesson. At the beginning of the course, the goal is to motivate and engage students. Start your lesson with:
Opening Lesson: Keep it short, 2-4 minutes. Introduce yourself and explain why you are the best person to teach this course. Set the right expectations and explain to your students what they will learn and what they will be able to do by the end of the course.
Didactic lecture: between the first and second lecture, introduce the topic and explain its meaning.
Engagement Activities: Include an activity in the first lesson of the course to get students engaged right away. This can be an exercise or a reflective activity and is a great way to engage students.
Development
This is the main part of the course where you explain the topics and develop activities and assessments for students to practice and evaluate what they have learned. This part of the course should consist of several parts, including lectures, practical activities, and reference materials.
Sections: Focus on one learning objective that each section covers. Make sure these sections build on each other to cover all the skills your course promises to cover in the learning objectives.
Lessons: Each section can have as many lessons as students need to meet the objectives of that course. Each lesson focuses on a single concept, making it easier for students to learn the lessons. Keep your videos short, preferably 6 minutes or less. Technical subjects may require longer lectures.
-
Practical Activities and Assessments: Each section includes at least 1 practical activity or assessment that allows students to apply their knowledge and gain insight into how well they have achieved the learning objectives. When creating your lesson plan, consider a variety of projects, quizzes, and exercises that you can incorporate into your lessons.
References: Don't forget to note any other resources you'd like to include in each section. These can include checklists, worksheets, templates, visual aids, PDF annotations, source code, and any other links you deem appropriate.
End
Complete your course with a great ending that challenges students to apply your knowledge. To end your lesson successfully, summarize key points and thank students for attending your lesson.
-
Closing Statement: At the end, include a welcome speech that summarizes the main points of the lesson, thanks students for their time, and gives them a sense of accomplishment.
Extra Lessons: This is optional, but you can include extra lessons after the last lesson. This is a good opportunity to promote other courses or products, but remember to follow our other course rules and guidelines.
