What are the best ways to structure a beginner-friendly online course for a gaming website project?

Question

I'm planning to create my first online course and would appreciate some advice from experienced Udemy instructors.

The course will be based on a real gaming website project, and I'd like to make it easy for beginners to follow.

I'd love your recommendations on:

* How long should each lesson ideally be?
* Is it better to include practical projects in every section?
* How do you keep students engaged throughout the course?
* What common mistakes should new instructors avoid?
* Any tips for improving course completion rates and student reviews?

I'd really appreciate any best practices or personal experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hi @TomodachiLifeROM ,

For a beginner-friendly course, I'd focus on keeping each lesson centered around one clear objective so learners can make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Since you're using a real gaming website project, practical exercises throughout the course sound like a great idea. They give students a chance to apply what they've just learned instead of only watching demonstrations.

I'd also suggest ending each section with a brief recap and a small milestone so learners can see their progress as they move through the course.

Wishing you all the best with your first course

Please stop posting when task can be accomplished simply by reacting. Replying brings inactive threads to top of stack many times leading to out of context discussions keeping useful things out of sight. Reactions don't. Points earned here are pointless to say the least.

Also many times it's just bot accounts. I have reported more than a couple accounts responding to older posts which were blocked where last post was yours taking forward bots post. So please take this as a sincere request in given context.

Best way is to check if account was created and last posting on the same day and name has peculiar format that seems machine generated. And if all seems acceptable, then post whatever adds value to the context.
