At the end of the year, I feel like I find myself searching for new or different tools/activities even more than I normally do. Why? Simply because I need to find something new or different to motivate my students. The light at the end of the school year tunnel is getting bigger, the weather is […]

Let's go back to Barry Oshry's research. Tops seek to strengthen the capacity of what they are accountable for. They inform, involve, ask, give and coach. Under stress, Tops sabotage themselves by taking all the responsibility, away from others. Read this weekly to understand the perspective of your leader. Notice their purpose is not evil or crazy. They are trying to help. If you've noticed them taking on more responsibility, figure out a way to talk about it. Tops feel very isolated and often believe that no one is helping them. Ironically, at the same time you'll feel that they are taking work from you because you are inadequate. The negative reinforcement continues to challenge collaboration. Looking at the bias you bring to the conversations, you are either coming from a Bottom or Middle condition in this case. Think about your play in the system. Bottoms seek to identify and fix things that are wrong. Bottoms sabotage themselves by blaming the higher-ups for messing things up. Are you addicted to blaming up? Middles are the web, connecting and coordinating the parts. They share, diagnose, and coordinate. Middles sabotage themselves by aligning to one part of the organization and losing the other (disperse / integrate). Are you playing favorites?

- This post is by Therese Longo, my right and left hand (and sometimes my brain).
My first generation iPad mini was about to die, so I recently decided to retire it and buy myself the new iPad mini 4. I love buying new electronics and this time was no different. I rushed home to take it out of the box and set it up. After the initial set up, I was eager to install my apps. It was fun to look through all the apps I’ve used over the years…the ones that became favorites and those that I never really explored after the initial install. Among the latter, were those that I thought I could use as an instructional designer. I’m now revisiting these apps, exploring their capabilities and usefulness. As I do, I will share what I find with you in this and future posts.
The first is Captivate Draft, a free iPad app that allows you to create storyboards on the go. These storyboard drafts can then be distributed to the team for review and imported into Captivate 9 for further development. It also integrates with Adobe’s other iPad apps such as Color, allowing you to use custom color pallets. It’s a great tool to get preliminary ideas down during design meetings. I’ve created a short video with an overview - Adobe Captivate Draft.
I haven’t had a chance to try it myself on a project, but would love to hear any feedback you have on how it performed.

Universities and colleges have been the bastions for professional, higher education for hundreds of years. From these institutions have come world changers such as Sir Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, Albert Einstein and these are just samples from the sciences alone. From the corridors of the arts have come those who through there expertise have defined the very cultures that we now enjoy. However, now in the 21st century with the exponential growth of information and knowledge in many disciplines, institutions of higher learning are faced with some perplexing questions in which they no longer have the luxury of setting up longitudinal research studies to gather verifiable data on. Some of these questions might be:Does the original vision and purpose of university or college education still hold when everything around them is changing?Can we justify the growing cost for students to receive a quality university education when other educational organizations are challenging them with online courses customized around the personal life style and goals of learners?Are separate disciplines that create silos of knowledge and skillsets still viable in a digital world where cross disciplinary collaborative learning fits the needs of a our societies as we attempt to deal with complex real world problems?Do attempts at creating hybrid universities through the establishment of MOOC's meet what is required or are they merely veiled attempts at transformation while below the surface they follow same old pedagogy and model of education?In light of these perplexing questions we are faced by the challenge:"What will it take to bring about honest transformation of a higher education system so that it is more in line with the need to educate this generation and those following to be "agents of change" who will enrich, create and innovate in building the societies of the future?"A Question of VisionOne statement that has taken on even more meaning in the digital world even though its origins were from the ancient world is:"Without a sustainable and an adaptable vision, a people perish!"This statement can very well apply to higher education and especially, business organizations but when you talk about institutions of higher learning, you are talking about a cascading chain of failure because those who are learners go out into the world, into business organizations, into government positions and into education systems believing that the vision of the way things should work does not need overhaul but instead requires the exercise of power towards others to make sure that they conform to that vision unquestioningly. Ironically, one of the principle past advantages of being an university student was that you were encouraged to listen to many points of view even if you disagreed with what was being said and question to learn more. This is the very practice that Socrates encouraged in his learners and it was the very practice that he lost his life over. Teaching his learners to think and question was seen as a threat to the establishment of the time because from that discipline of the mind would come the cradle for wisdom.Credit:www.buzzle.com Today on many university and college campuses, instead of open and honest debate on issues dealing with the human condition, we have "group speak" in which if you don't conform to the common mantra, "ad hominem" labelling and categorization is used to silence opposing points of view. This is a return to the command and control mentality of industrial economy ethos. "There can not be a nurturing of wisdom in university learners when wondering is censored and healthy, open and reasonable argumentation and critical thinking has been abandoned!"Necessary Paths to Transformation: Part IThe following are suggestions as to where we can re-imagine and re-design higher education so that it is more in line with the actual needs and the complex real world problems of our societies in a 21st century world:Dedicated return to fostering effective habits of the mind in higher education learners. We can not assume that the learners who reach university or college level are effective thinkers; that they actually know the difference between a fact or an opinion; that they understand that an argument is not an argument unless it included verifiable, evidential support and are aware of counter-arguments. Pointing fingers at the other levels of education is not a solution but a refusal to take responsibility for a common cause.In this world, there is a need to encourage cross-disciplinary approaches to solving complex real world problems. In terms of university and college organization structure, it means re-thinking the knowledge silo approach of the disciplines. There is a need to educate learners to approach tasks by learning to analyze the task from more than one perspective and then to work collaboratively with others utilizing each others perspective on the problem to arrive at a reasonable and perhaps an innovative solution. A useful analogy which I have used in the past is the six blind men trying to describe an elephant. A true picture only happens if the blind men pool their perspectives to the task and actually collaborate. Necessary Paths to Transformation: Part II---Networking, Mentoring and E-LearningThere is a need to go beyond the classroom early in the learner's university or college career. One criticism that learners have of their education is that "it is a world that is not real because it does not extend beyond the classroom". In university, students have to wait until graduate school before their education links in a relevant manner to the "real world". Why? It is important to make networked connections between professional groups outside the walls of the university who are on the leading edge of their professions. This is a "win-win" situation for both groups. The professionals are exposed to new ideas that have them leave their comfort zones to consider new possibilities and the students prosper by being exposed to the actual professional lives of those who they have an interest in following. Mentoring relationships can be encouraged to further refine how students think about things.Universities need to be honest about their motives for introducing online initiatives to students. For example if they are driven by a profit motive then students should be aware of this up front. An example is when universities offer MOOC's. Effective MOOC's should have a cost so that students take them seriously and actually finish the course they registered for. Students have the right to "see under the hood" before signing up. If the pedagogy is exactly the same as in the "brick and mortar" school, then there is something wrong.There are many ways to avoid changing the status quo in higher education and those who have a vested interest will shake their fists at such changes or create ongoing "paralysis by analysis" ad infinitum but there has to be a point where we put self-entitlement and a fear of the future aside. In doing so, we advance from a "ME society to a WE society" and our learners will once again wonder and in doing so take the road to wisdom which benefits all.Credit: www.quotesgram.com Next..

Danny Iny is the founder and CEO of Mirasee, host of the Business Reimagined podcast, and best-selling author of multiple books, including Teach and Grow Rich: The Emerging Opportunity for Global Impact, Freedom, and Wealth. Today, Danny is teaching us about his concept of piloting courses. Intrigued? Read on to find out what it means.
"What if my course bombs?"
The excitement you felt for your online course has turned into a litany of what ifs:
What if nobody buys it?
What if my students hate it?
What if I suck?
You’ve done your due diligence. You know your course idea will meet a need and fulfill a desire that matters to your market. You’re confident in your ability to teach them something that will change their lives.
But still, you wonder… what if you’re wrong?
Unless you want to be another frustrated, disillusioned online course creator, there’s a better way to move forward with your course idea… one that guarantees people want it, will pay for it, and will benefit from it.
Educators who skip this step find themselves wasting hundreds of hours of work on a course that few people want or doesn’t deliver the promised results. All because they assumed they knew what the market wanted. They thought they knew the best way to deliver the content. And they assumed wrong.
There’s a better way to test your course idea in the real world. And even get paid while you’re at it.
It’s called piloting.
You know how TV producers pilot their shows? They assemble the cast and crew and produce the first few episodes. They promote the show and air it. Then, depending on how viewers respond, they decide whether to continue the series or not.
That’s what you’ll be doing with your pilot course. You’ll plan and sell a small portion of your full online course and see how your target market responds. From there, you can decide to either move forward with the full course or to pivot to a different course altogether. Either way, you’ll be armed with the insights you gained from your pilot students.
And you wouldn’t have spent all your time and energy on a failed experiment
So how do you test your course idea in the real world? This post will walk you through the steps.
PS - You can get Danny’s book (along with 11 other brilliant books for course creators) in our Book Bundle Giveaway. Check it out here!
Step 1. Determine your minimum viable outcome.
Your pilot course is a scaled-down version of the full course you have in mind. It must be small enough in scope that you can implement it within six weeks or so. But not so small that it doesn’t deliver appreciable results to your students. To find that sweet spot, you must determine the minimum viable outcome for your pilot course.
Start by thinking big. If you had a magic wand, what outcome would your students want you to create for them? (Credit for this magic wand technique goes to BJ Fogg.)
In all likelihood, this outcome is something so outlandish that you or anyone else couldn’t possibly deliver it. For example, if you’re considering a course about weight loss, the answer might be, "My students want to lose their excess weight, burn fat, and build lean muscle in seven days."
It’s a wonderful outcome, but also unrealistic.
Since you don’t have a magic wand, you can’t deliver this ultimate outcome. But you can deliver something close enough. Ask yourself, "What’s the next best thing I could provide?" Keep asking this question, until you have a result you can deliver within three to six weeks—the typical duration of a pilot course.
In this case, it could be: "At the end of four weeks, my students will learn how to manage their cravings for sweets and other unhealthy foods."
That’s the minimum viable outcome of your pilot course! Once you have a clear, focused, and market-validated promise, then you can move on to planning your pilot course.
Step 2. Choose your pilot type and price.
Decide whether you want your pilot course to be high-touch or low-touch. Each has its pros and cons.
A high-touch course requires you to spend more one-on-one time with each student. For this reason, it will take up more of your time and energy. But at the same time, you’ll be able to get more in-depth feedback and insights from your beta students, which would be valuable in developing your full course. You’ll also be able to charge more for the pilot course.
Examples of high-touch courses include individual coaching, small group coaching and training, or a hybrid of the two.
Low-touch courses allow you to reach more students with one effort. You’ll have to charge less for the pilot course, but you’ll be able to accept more students.
Low-touch options include live bootcamps, large group coaching, and email training.
How Much Will You Charge?
You’ll also need to decide how much to charge for your pilot course. Start with how much you plan to charge for the full course, then adjust relative to the amount of content and outcomes in the pilot vs. the full course, and the relative amount of individual attention and support you’ll provide.
Let’s say you want to charge $997 for the full course, and the pilot will be a low-touch course with 20% of the final course content. A reasonable price for the pilot would be $197. On the other hand, imagine your full course will be $4,997, and the pilot will be high-touch and will provide 25% of the full course content. A possible price for your pilot could be $1,497.
Whatever number you arrive at, validate it against your financial goals and target market. Each market is different and will have a different threshold.
Speaking of pricing, now’s also a good time to figure out how you will get paid. If you’re looking to accept only a handful of students, maybe all you need is PayPal. If you want a larger group, look into Gumroad with integration through Zapier.
Editor’s note: Of course, if you’re using Thinkific to host your course, you don’t need to worry about this at all.
Step 3. Plan your pilot curriculum
Now you’re ready to plan your pilot curriculum. I guarantee you’ll have it ready within a couple of hours. In fact, your pilot plan won’t take up more than a page of letter-sized paper.
Keep your pilot plan short and simple, because you want to give yourself plenty of room to maneuver as you respond to feedback from your students. Leave most of the curriculum development work until after you’ve sold the pilot.
Right now, you need only the broad strokes of what you’re going to teach, how long the pilot will last, and what the experience for the student will be like—just enough details for you to sell the pilot course.
The first step is to define the start and end points of your students. Point A is the problem or challenge they’re currently experiencing and want to solve. Point B is the minimum viable outcome or promise of your pilot.
Think about the things your students need to learn to achieve success, to go from Point A to Point B. The big concepts or steps you’ll cover in one shot are the lessons. Each lesson should build on the prior skills and knowledge of your students, to scaffold them, so to speak, to the next step.
Under each lesson, make a bulleted list of sub-topics you’ll cover. It doesn’t have to be too detailed, just enough so it’s clear to you and your prospective students exactly what the pilot course will cover.
Keep in mind: give your students only what they absolutely need to achieve the minimum viable outcome your pilot promises. It’s not to be stingy; it’s to be judicious and avoid anything that might distract or divert your students from the desired outcome.
Also, remember that you want to deliver the pilot within six weeks, at the most. This is brief enough that your students will stay motivated, engaged, and available to give the feedback you need. But at the same time, it’s long enough to achieve an outcome they care about.
You also want to complete your pilot as quickly as possible, so you can learn and iterate rapidly towards your full-scale product.
When you have your one-page pilot plan, fill in the actual dates for each of the lessons. The first lesson should begin within a week of the last day of your launch.
Mode of delivery
Now that you know the content of your pilot course, it’s time to think of how you’re going to actually deliver the lessons.
Your mode of delivery should be as simple and low-tech as possible, considering the requirements of your topic. Avoid having to learn new technologies, and minimize the use of new or unfamiliar technology.
In other words, don’t use Skype if the phone will do. Don’t use GoToWebinar if Google Hangouts will serve just fine.
Step 4. Sell your pilot
You’ve got your pilot course all planned. Now it’s time to sell it!
Here’s the basic process for selling your pilot course:
1. Float the idea of your pilot to people who may want it.
Announce that you have something in the works, and tell the story of how you came up with the idea. Use email, a blog post, or whatever medium you normally use to connect with your audience (And if you don’t have email subscribers, you still have an audience by way of your personal, professional, and social media connections).
You’ll also want to get people excited about your pilot course, by engaging them in some way. Ask for feedback on your pilot idea through a phone call or online survey, for example. If you already have an audience of 500 subscribers or more, and are comfortable with the technology, you can give them a taste of your pilot through a webinar.
While you’re building excitement and anticipation for your pilot course, you can also get your audience’s inputs on what type of a pilot course would really help them.
2. Make your offer.
With your audience primed, it’s time to open the curtains on your pilot course. Focus on the problem it will solve, and what outcomes it will create. Describe what the experience will be like, so your audience can imagine themselves as your students. And paint a picture of what their outcomes will be.
Don’t forget to put a cap on the number of students you will accept. Because this is a pilot, you want to keep the class size manageable while you’re still figuring out the best ways to refine your course.
When you make your offer, remind your audience of the number of students you’re taking and the deadline to register. This gives your offer urgency, which can help people take action and buy, instead of putting it off.
3. Close the sale.
Collect their payment and give them a spot on your pilot course. If you’re on the phone with them, offer to get their payment details so you can process the payment through PayPal (or whatever payment processor you use). Or, if you made your offer in an email or webinar, send them to either a checkout link or sales page to process their registration.
That’s all there is to it.
But while the general idea is the same, the execution will be different depending on the size of your existing audience or network.
If you don’t have a mailing list, you could accomplish the first step through email, and the second and third steps through a single phone conversation with each of your prospects. If you have a bigger audience and are comfortable with the technologies involved, your pilot course launch could involve a series of emails, blog posts, and other media, ultimately leading to a sales page.
Step 5. Proceed or Pivot
If you enrolled as many students as you hoped for, then congratulations! You can proceed with delivering your pilot course.
But if you’ve followed these steps and didn’t fill your pilot course, you need to go back to your notes and ask yourself: Is there really a demand for the course? Is the pricing wrong? Do your prospects like the topic but not the mode of delivery? Did you misunderstand the outcomes that they care about?
Now’s the time to pivot and adjust your plans. It’s very disappointing to be in this situation, but it’s much better to cut your losses now than to invest the time, energy, and money developing a full-blown course that doesn’t sell.
You may have to go back to researching your audience’s pains, problems, and frustrations. And then follow the steps again, from nailing down a minimum viable outcome, to planning and selling your pilot course.
Eventually, you’ll have a successful pilot course.
You’ll have real-life validation that there’s a demand for your course. People do pay for it. They like your content and the way you deliver it. And they’re actually getting good results.
That’s when you know you have a potential winner on your hands. Then you can put your worries to rest and get excited about your course again.

Here at Thinkific, we’re constantly at work listening to your feedback and building the features that you, as course creators, need the most. If you’re in our Facebook group you know that we listen and make a better product for you to help you with your online courses. We released the following new features in March 2016. Here’s our announcement video.
Additional Pricing and Payment Plans
So one of the first things I wanted to mention to you was additional pricing and payment plans and they kind of work together. Now, you could always create multiple prices for a course in the past on Thinkific, but we’ve made it super easy with these new features. So now, when you go to price your course, there is a little button there for additional pricing. And once you have added a price, you can add another price and so you can sell your course at two different price points.
Usually people use this to have, say, a one-time fee and a monthly subscription. Or you can combine it with the other new feature, payment plans, and give students an option between a one-time fee and the payment plan. Payment plan is subscription that ends after
A payment plan is subscription that ends after a period of time but you can still give people continued access to the course. So, for example, you could sell your course for $1000, or three equal payments of $400 each and they will pay them once a month for three months and then they’re done paying but they have access to the course for as long as you want them to.
Now I have actually been wanting payment plans for ages for my own online course because I constantly hear from people that they are waiting on that next paycheck and they can put a portion of it down now and pay the rest later. So opening up payment plans really gives people the opportunity to buy your course right now.
Revenue Sharing
One of the other things that we have put in is the ability to track and share revenue with co-instructors. So what this does is for any product that you have created, any course, you can actually assign a revenue percentage to other people (it can be multiple people). And Thinkific will automatically track and split up that revenue between those people and essentially handle reporting for you so you can see detailed reports about the sales that you’re making and the portions of revenues and how they are split. And when you’re ready to make payments, you can record payments so that you know they have gone out and those payments are taken care of.
So, if you’re co-creating courses or looking to co-create courses, definitely check out the revenue sharing. If you aren’t, it can be a great idea to reach out to other people in your industry and talk about co-creating courses with them. You may even have them create the course entirely and you’re just handling the marketing, or vice versa and then you can share the revenue that way.
Language Localization
Another thing we’ve got is the ability for you to change your site’s language. This is full localization, if you want to switch your whole site over to German, one click and you’ve got a German site. Very easy to do, we’ve got a bunch of languages already in there for you and if you’re looking for more, just let us know.
The benefit of this is you can reach a wider market by targeting people in other countries. And if you’re from a country like Germany, and you’re unhappy about the lack of options to sell courses online in your country, well now you can use us!
Cloud Uploads
Another one is just making it easier for you to upload content. We already have our bulk importer where you can go into the course builder and just drag and drop all of your videos and PDFs and audio files and it will automatically build the course. But we’ve also added the ability to upload from the cloud, so whether you’re using Google drive or blogs or Dropbox or other cloud hosting services, even FTP, you can do that from the video library and you can just suck in all of that content, so you don’t have to worry about downloading it and then re-uploading it to Thinkific. It should make it a lot easier for you to bring that content in.
Infusionsoft Integration
Finally, we have a direct integration with Infusionsoft, now. We’ve had an integration with Infusionsoft through Zapier for quite some time but now we actually have that direct integration with Infusionsoft, so you can pass that information over to Infusionsoft, you can create tags, you can create contacts and I definitely recommend checking that out if you’re an Infusionsoft user. Thinkific combined with Infusionsoft creates a really powerful marketing engine for your online courses.
Tons of other little fixes that are going on just based on lots of feedback that we are collecting. So you might see some minor little tweaks to our user experience, all about making things easier for you and it’s all based on your feedback. Thanks so much for giving us all that wonderful feedback, giving us great ideas for how we can make Thinkific better. I hope you keep it coming and we’ll keep doing our best to build a wonderful product for you to support you and your online courses.

We treat our staff like our customers, they are the most important elements in our business without whom we would just be another run of the mill, boring, clunky LMS.
