Hi,

I'm about to create my first course.

I'm wondering what's the optimum amount of videos & documents that you would recommend?

My course is practical & theory based do it needs some videos.

Thank you,

Siobhan

    Hi @Siobhan

    To answer your question. I wouldn't base it on how many videos should I create, or documents for the specific course, but if I use the topic to the fullest?

    I mean, focus on covering the topic of the course comprehensively. Some of my courses have only 2 hours of content, on the other hand, one has 7,5 hours, if you feel that 2 hours of content is enough and you utilize the topic to the maximum that's great.

    When it comes to the course files, also that depends. If you have materials that you think will be useful for the student in the past ( maybe a spreadsheet with useful data ), feel free to attach as much as you want, however, I would avoid attaching unnecessary files.

    Let me know if it was helpful!

    Best Regards,

    - Krystian

    Hello, @Siobhan

    For a balanced practical and theory-based course, consider the following:

    Videos: 10-15 videos, each 5-10 minutes long. aarp-membership
    Documents: 5-10 supporting documents (PDFs, slides, etc.).


    This structure ensures concise and engaging content while covering necessary material effectively.

    I hope this suggestion will help you

    Best regards
