Common Issues With Creating Online Content And How To Fix Them
A practical guide to understanding of how people learn, think and solve problems and how to apply that to creating content for Microchip University Classes
This class is meant as a practical guide to those of you who are making the transition from creating content for face-to-face presentations to creating content for online classes such as Microchip University.
We start the class with a few minutes of theory to help create a foundation of knowledge that we then use throughout the rest of the course which is a series of before/after examples. The examples are based on actual content that was submitted for MU classes, and for each example we discuss what the issues are and then show how it might be improved.
