Course Creators Weekly #2 π July 6th, 2020 - The Trouble with Self-Paced Courses
Welcome to the second issue of Course Creators Weekly!
I understand that not everyone has the time to read, watch or listen to all of the content I share each week. I want to make Course Creators Weekly digestible in under a minute, and a valuable resource on its own. So, I've decided to complement each link with a few bullet points summarising the key ideas.
Also, instead of sharing 5 pieces of content every week, I'll aim for 3 to 5. That way, it's easier for me to summarise and quicker for you to consume!
Let me know what you think!
