The curriculum for the Workplace Foundational #SkillsProgram at the Skilled For Work Academy by I-Train Africa got its last refinement today.
In the last three months, I have been on a research spree to ensure my online academy learning experience is beyond good but GLOBALLY #EXCELLENT.
I started the research from other people’s courses. I found some excellent people on #LinkedIn with fantastic learning experiences in their programs. I saw the prices range between $1500 and $2000.
I asked my staff to go through and give feedback for the ones with tasters. We analysed. Then I started going through other course creators courses I had bought locally. We went through at least a lesson on each program. I took notes of the things I liked and that I did not.
Then, I went back to my courses and onboarded myself to them. I onboarded myself to the A-Z of Winning Global Opportunities online course this week. My very first online course. It was recorded as a proper online course back in 2021.
After listening to my first online course, I did a quick round of praise, which I consider my best work yet regarding lesson structure, knowledge, and learning experience.
I silently prayed for my online course coach, Stephanie Obi, who taught me online course structure.
Then, I went ahead to self-praise.
I said to myself;
????Aderinsola Adio-Adepoju (PhD), you have a brain.
????Derin, you get a sense.
????Derin, you have delivered the absolute best in the past.
????Derin, you are good.
????Derin, clap for yourself.
????Derin na woman you be.
????Derin, you are what you call yourself, THE GREATEST EDUCATOR OF ALL TIME (smiles).
After the round of praises. I said to myself,
Derin, are you sure you can deliver this level of excellence again? I quickly shoved it off as I knew that was fear talking.
I have spent the last four years constantly self-developing, but my old course gives me a run for my money.
This is what I consider a good challenge when I am setting out to break my old record.
From my old course, I downloaded nine variants of worksheets. I studied all of them. I was more impressed with myself. I saw the ones I could use in various Skilled For Work Academy lessons.
EXCELLENCE IS INDEED TIMELESS.
I went back to the lesson structure.
I looked at the new lesson structure we had strategised over the last three months.
I loved that the old one had almost all the elements I wanted, besides a few additions based on trends.
This phase is just one thing out of # the various elements of #productinnovations.
The #Designthinking process to ensure your product delivers more than the solution but the best experience #UX is highly challenging. I wouldn’t trade this for anything, though.
Innovation makes me tick!
Now, let me go back to the next task on my implementation sheet, the structure of slides.
