Digital Learning Design: A New Lesson During COVID-19 — Sarah Scala Consulting
Most of my time was spent creating all of the short videos to include in the curriculum. Each video (40 to start and 24 at the final launch) took 4 to 5 takes. With a few years of experience with editing videos from my speaking engagements, which I post on my Youtube Channel, the edits were less intimidating. I use Power Director software for this. What took a bit of time was getting the closed caption text for each video. Once a video is uploaded to Youtube, Youtube will provide closed caption text. It is up to the user to edit the text to be sure it is accurate. Thinkific was easy to use to upload the videos and images.
As the design continued, I had friends previewing and testing the content and sales page. This is very important when designing a digital course because you want to make it high quality and easy for the end user. Once I completed the videos and finalizing the content, quizzes, and reflection exercises, I needed to create my sales page for the course. I welcome you to check out the sales page to see how I have laid it out.
I am proud to share this new course, Optimism, Resilience and Grit: Sustaining Success at Work and Home. It took me a total of three weeks (part time) to build this two hour course! I love learning new skills, and am much more comfortable with designing Digital Learning courses in the future!
