What Is Instructional Design for Online Courses? There is a term that gets used frequently in the course creation space — sometimes accurately, often loosely, and rarely with the precision that helps course creators understand what it actually means for the quality of what they are building.

How to Turn Your Framework Into Multiple Offers One of the most consistently underutilized assets in a course creator’s business is the signature framework at the center of their flagship course. Most creators treat the framework as a course architecture decision — the method that organizes the curriculum — and stop there. They build one […]
The Biggest Mistakes People Make When Creating a Framework Creating a signature framework is one of the most important pieces of work a course creator does before building a course — and one of the easiest to get wrong in ways that are invisible until the course is already built and already underperforming. The mistakes […]
