  5. Devise a solid intro to the course which will clearly tell those attending/viewing the course what they will learn right from the outset. Let them know about the benefits they will be gaining. Once you hook them from the beginning they will be more inclined to follow along with the material.

  8. Record test runs of the material and review it. Look for bugs which may need to be fixed.
  9. Offer copies of the test versions to those whose opinion you value. Absorb the constructive criticism you get back and use it to tweak the “real” version of the course.
