Creating a course helps your audience to get to know you and understand your material better, and videos make you more relatable. The 52-Week Life Passion Project was Barrie’s first book. Make your course specific, granular, and outcome-oriented. Provide your students with nothing more than what they need. The goal is to create just-in-time learning. What should you try to achieve when you create courses? It’s a great additional income stream, but could easily end up eclipsing your book sales. It is growing, and will continue to do so.Īlthough it might seem counterintuitive, you’ll make more money with courses than books. Forbes projected that online learning will soon be a $107 billion/year industry. Amazingly, 95% of all US universities offer some type of online learning. ![]() They are the top medium for learning today. Why are online courses so valuable for authors? Barrie and Ron give you an overview of why creating courses is a great business decision, and teach you the steps to get your first course off the ground. In this podcast, we discuss how to create another profitable income stream using content you’ve already created by designing and selling your own course. Self-published authors are leaving money on the table by not creating courses from their books. “Online learning is not the next big thing it is the now big thing.” – Donna J. Screenflow is available for Mac for $129.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Quote of the Day: I checked with Camtasia to see if they have any plans on implementing a similar feature and they still recommend using a third party pen tool, with no intention to add a built-in pen tool anytime soon. Still, it’s a great tool to have in one’s belt. And the annotation process is a bit more involved than I expect most instructors are comfortable with. What you lose, however, is that analog feel of actually seeing the annotation written in real time. This is a huge amount of freedom when compared to the static permanence of a screen-recorded annotation. This gives you the ability to retroactively edit the timing, size, position, and color of your annotation. When editing your project, you can now draw an annotation over top your recording with a mouse (or with a Wacom tablet as we do). ![]() This has pros and cons, in my opinion, but is ultimately a great step forward. Rather than offer the ability to use a built-in pen tool while recording, Screenflow 8 now allows you to add them in post-production. Screenflow’s new option for adding handwritten annotations offers a new approach, though it’s still not perfect. This can make recording a video even more overwhelming for an instructor. However, many pen tools are obtuse with too many buttons or don’t work overtop slides in presentation mode. And seeing an instructor actually write and annotate gives the video a personal and intimate feel. It’s an easy concept for instructors to grasp onto since it’s so similar to their existing teaching style. It’s similar to using a white board but more legible for digital audiences. One of the easiest ways for translating classroom lectures to a format tailored for online video is simply doing a screen recording of an instructor using a pen tool to annotate over their slides or a blank background. ![]() Among some of the smaller new features in Screenflow 8, there was one that immediately stood out: handwritten annotations. Mostly, this means preset styles, project templates, access to a stock media library… Like Camtasia, these new features are great if you’re looking for all-in-one shop at the cost of limiting the control of design and animation. ![]() With Screenflow’s new version (8 for those counting), many of the new features are keeping pace with it’s competitor Camtasia.
