Can't unlock Module 3 until you score 70% on Module 2's quiz. Forces active learning, prevents students from binging content without understanding. Completion rates stay higher when progression feels earned.
Summary of new content, upcoming deadlines, discussion highlights—once per week. Daily notifications get ignored or muted. Weekly digests get opened because they feel valuable, not spammy.
Gallery of completed assignments, final projects, or testimonials. Peer visibility motivates completion. 'I want my work featured' is surprisingly powerful for adult learners.
Not everyone finishes full courses. Give certificates for completing individual modules—'Email Marketing Foundations' instead of waiting for the full program. Students leave with something tangible even if life gets busy.
Weekly live calls become obligation theater. Monthly sessions feel special, get better attendance, deeper questions. Record and add to course materials afterward.
You've got expertise to share but don't want to give 30% to course platforms. Sell directly, keep the revenue, control the experience. No middleman taking cuts or dictating pricing.
Onboard employees, run compliance training, upskill teams. Track who's completed what, export reports for HR. Beats emailing PDF workbooks and hoping people read them.
Pair live coaching with self-paced courses. Clients work through foundational material before 1-on-1 sessions—you spend time on advanced topics instead of repeating basics.
