You wanna create a course, but…

…the overwhelm is real.

You're not alone. Teachers get entire degrees to develop curriculum, and you didn't set out to become a teacher, or maybe you used to be, but this is a whole different animal.

Either way, there are a lot of different approaches to course creation, but the ones I take at CM Learning Design are about efficiency based on learning science. I've been teaching adults online since 2009, and done funded research in teaching and learning online.

You might be a go-getter, a DIY-er, an "I can do it myself" kinda person. Me, too. But admitting when you're stuck and need an expert is, what I've come to realize, a huge step in adulting. 

So let’s simplify it.

I can help you get unstuck no matter where you are in the process, and sometimes, the stuck bit isn't where we think it is. We're gonna start from where you are and take out the overwhelm of creating a course in a way that's fun and easy by working together in this crazy endeavor.

My services are organized first by how much support you're looking for second by where you are in the process.

    You've got some options. Other than the jumpstart, my free stuff for getting started is content with some action items. 

    You can learn a lot from my YouTube channel and Blog, which of course are free. I've also collected the best podcast  guest spots I've done. Check out the Free Stuff page for these links.

    If you're looking for help beyond free content, then I have a Course Maker Guide for $27 (it's a workbook with some videos) that helps get you from "I have an idea!" to "I have a plan!" It is self-guided, but there are links to schedule a short strategy session at a special price, should you need one.

Of course, if you prefer to work 1-to-1, we can make that happen, too. The benefit of 1-to-1 is a more bespoke, personalized, focused experience.
