A lot of new online course creators reach out to me asking, "How do I make an online course more engaging?", or "how do I increase the engagement in my courses?".
I know it can be heartbreaking to spend weeks, and even months creating an online course and in the end, most of your students abandon the course midway.
Most of the time, you'll eventually accept that your course isn't as interesting yet as it needs to be, and you are looking for ways to improve it.
One of your main goals as an online course creator is not only to teach your topic, but also to provide your students with the best possible learning experience.
A better course-taking experience will motivate your students to follow through with your course till the end, and really learn what you are teaching.
This will lead to much higher student satisfaction, and to higher chances that people will buy another course from you again in the future.
So learning how to create an engaging online learning experience is a win-win for both you and your students, and you should really take the time to learn how to do it properly.
