Re: Building the Future Together: An Update for Instructors
The fact that the Udemy brand will survive the transaction is great. This is because I have a lot of Udemy swag that I’m not ready to turn into memorabilia just yet!
Jokes aside, it is reassuring to know that the new Udemy+Coursera entity will continue to value the open marketplace model and the power of individual instructors. Having this clarity will help the instructor community better align their future plans. I think this idea needs to be communicated more often to give instructors confidence in the future.
Thanks for the update @ZaneVella! This is fantastic news for all of us.
Re: Building the Future Together: An Update for Instructors
Thanks for this, @ZaneVella!! It's great to read this and exciting to think about what’s possible when two strong but very different ecosystems like Udemy and Coursera come together.
Different audiences, different models, different strengths… if we get this right, it could open up totally new opportunities for how we teach and reach learners.
Appreciate the clarity and momentum here.
And Like Valentin said, I am thrilled to know I can keep using my Udemy branded swag 😀

Re: First course creation
Nicely paced and it's nice to see you throughout the videos. There is a slight background noise that it would be nice if it could be removed with editing software. I'm not sure how to do that. I'm not your audience (I'm not a 30-50 year old mom) however I did find it interesting.
In the first lecture when you presented yourself I did wonder what are your qualifications. I understand you are a mom who used to work in the corporate world? If you have other qualifications it might be worth mentioning.
I think the course thumbnail/image is great.
In your description you wrote:
"Legal Note: All purchases are final, and access remains available indefinitely upon purchase."
I believe this is incorrect since students can request refunds. I think I would either remove this or edit it since most people on udemy know they have indefinite access and I believe in some cases they can get a refund.
All in all your course seems very nice.
Good luck!
