Create online courses that engage learners
I am a learning design expert who helps solopreneur course creators who care deeply about their learners create courses that get results by engaging their audience.
Introducing Connected Course Designs
Summit-First Framework
Connected Course Designs is based on proven learning science principles.
The key to the Summit-First Framework used in Connected Course Designs
is starting with the end goal (the summit) in mind.
Instead of presenting everything you know about a topic in a course, you start at the summit:
What is it that learners need to be able to demonstrate when they have completed your course?
Check out the recent podcast interview!
Cindy Bidar recently interviewed me for her Tiny Course Empire Podcast
We talk about keeping learners engaged, backward design, how to know how much content to put in a course, why it pays (literally) to pay attention to design principles, and more.

Why I teach course design
Course creator success
I teach you how to transform your content into well-designed courses using the Summit-First Framework.
Others teach how to put content into courses; I teach you how to design the content into an effective course.
When course content is well-designed, learners are engaged and more likely to complete a course.
And, when learners complete effective courses, they are ready to purchase your next course or product.
Moving your learners through your courses ensures both their success and yours.
That’s what I am here for – making this online content creation world a place where both learners and creators thrive!
I help both you and your learners to be successful.
Learner success
Learners purchase courses because they want to learn what you have to teach them, right?
It’s not enough to just give them the content or process. We need to design the content in such a way that it engages learners so they succeed.
When learners succeed, you succeed!
I help you help your learners so they benefit from your expertise.
Quality courses
Your content is top-notch so don’t put it into a low-quality framework!
I teach you how to use the Summit-First Framework to create quality courses as well as apply proven learning science principles.
I help you use the best practices of course design that engage your learners, creating an environment for success.
I want you to be proud of the courses you create and see the transformations you dream of for your learners.

How I teach you course design
Summit-First Framework
I teach online course creators the Summit-First Framework as the foundation of course design.
Instead of learning how to divide batches of content into modules, you’ll learn the best practices of course design using my Summit-First Framework as well as other learning science principles.
These best practices are designed to engage and lead learners to success with your content.
I teach you to design with a clear learner goal, walking students through the content using principles to create a clear roadmap to success for them.
Content to Course
I train online content creators how to transform content into course products.
If you are a content creator with social media content, I teach you to convert that content into engaging courses and content you can sell.
If you already have courses, I teach you how to revise your existing courses so that learners are engaged, demonstrate success along the way, and complete the course with a successful demonstration of the course’s purpose.
Whatever form your content is currently in - the form of an idea in your imagination to social media content to an already constructed course - I teach you the same principles used by professional online instructional designers.
Course Reviews
For a limited number of clients with existing courses, I perform course reviews.
In these reviews, I identify 3 to 5 main areas for you to address.
I provide the detailed guidance for you to follow to revise your courses based on the review.
I have a limited number of review slots available.
