How long should your online course be? (My first Facebook Live)

How long should your online course be? It’s one of the many questions new course creators ask themselves, so I thought it would be a great subject for a video!

But this one was going to be a video with a difference because it was my first ‘proper’ live video where I shared some useful content. My previous ones have been quick tests to see how it all works. Here it is:

If you prefer to watch this on YouTube, the link is here.

My Facebook page is Facebook.com/totallycourses if you’d like to follow me? I will be doing more live videos because my reach from this one is pretty good compared to the reach I typically get for my page posts. It’s well worth exploring Facebook Live if you feel brave enough.

Here are the key points from the video:

  1. How long should your course be? As long as it needs to be to deliver the outcomes your students want. (See my video for examples)
  2. If it’s your first course, keep it short, say around half an hour. Narrow down the subject of the course so your students can achieve a useful objective in that time e.g. instead of ‘how to bake cakes’ teach them how to make a specific type of cake. Even better, design the course to solve a common problem that your students or clients already have.
  3.  Check the rules or constraints of the platform, if you’re using one. E.g. Udemy strongly recommends courses should be a minimum of an hour long.
  4. I also give a very simple course outline you can use to structure your course content.

Hope that’s helpful, please do let me know if you have any suggestions for videos!
