Why do so many teachers, former teachers, and education specialists still seek support when creating an online course?
At first, it might seem surprising. After all, if anyone knows how to teach, it should be a teacher. But in this episode, Shannon explores why people with teaching backgrounds often understand something the online course world tends to overlook: good teaching, strong curriculum, and effective online course design are not the same thing.
A course is not just a collection of lessons. It is not simply your expertise divided into modules. And it is definitely not just content placed on a platform.
In this episode, Shannon unpacks the difference between sharing information and designing a learning experience someone can actually move through. She also shares why thoughtful course creators often feel stuck, not because they lack expertise, but because they can sense their course needs a clearer path, stronger structure, and more intentional decisions behind it.
If course creation has felt harder than expected, this episode will help you see that the issue may not be overthinking. It may be that you care about creating something that works.
