I launched my WordPress for Noobs online course this week. Over 30 participants have registered and paid thus far, with a few more expected by week’s end.
All’s working well with the integration of two big WordPress plugins to make the course happen:
- Wishlist Member which handles the registration, integration with PayPal, and membership management
- Simple:Press which provides the discussion forum for the course (screenshot on the right)
I’m using GoToWebinar to host a live Q&A webinar for the class each week, and Camtasia Studio to produce two screencasts (how-to videos) each week, hosted at Screencast.com.
All of this is a result of my taking the Teaching Sells course a year ago, with ongoing support from Third Tribe Marketing.
I’ve got more online courses (AKA Integrated Learning Environments) in the works. Next up: Blogging for Leaders.
