I think being open-minded is a requirement for an instructor/teacher/professor. For me, it's important in order to listen to student feedback and make changes to the course. Whether it's about your teaching style, your content, or your course in general. Students sometimes point at things that are incorrect in my course. I verify the information and make changes as necessary instead of believing I know everything about the topic.

GregReverdiau · ‎03-16-2019

I agree with Kenn. I will also add that in the past I had issues with software (not camera) that record with variable bit rate, which throws off the timing if you record with external recorders.

GregReverdiau · ‎03-15-2019

Gotcha. I don't think there is a minimum number of lectures per section but there is a minimum for the entire course. With 20+ lectures, you should be good to go, regardless of how you split them inside each section.

I still can’t see them but it looks like Jocelyn can 😞 we had this issue in the past where only a yellow triangle is showing, I’ll spreach out to support.

veajawad · ‎03-13-2019

Exactly. That is true. I actually thought I will be able to finish my course in maximum 1 month. But Its been 2 months I am working on my 1st course And I still have 50% of work to do...

I quite like the idea of an accepted solution series of badges, or maybe as the community grows some way people can see an accepted solutions leaderboard perhaps in categories so that perhaps as the community grows people could tag those in the category likely to be able to answer the question in the same way in the old groups in Facebook people like Scott Duffy were often tagged and Udemy staff were tagged, and that might reduce staff being tagged when a fellow instructor may be able to help, although it does run the risk of the top people just ending up always being tagged and so often answering questions and maybe then keeping them as top of the pack ,but this could be reduced by having it by default perhaps showing top this week at the side so that you then know who may well be most active currently... Also I was wondering ,as I've not found it yet whether there is an easy way to see the community champions and the main advice staff on a page so that if you had a question, especially if you were new to Udemy, you could visit that page if you wanted to find who to perhaps tag and see at a glance who's who... All the best Dan

GregReverdiau · ‎03-12-2019

I see your picture now, looks like you figured it out?

GregReverdiau · ‎03-12-2019

Other people have been reporting issues with uploading videos for their course, with the same error message so I'm gonna guess it's a related issue. I'd recommend contacting instructor support at instructorsupport@udemy.com, sounds like an issue on Udemy's side.

GregReverdiau · ‎03-10-2019

Mon, Check out this thread, it has a ton of great info on that topic. https://community.udemy.com/t5/Marketing/How-can-I-market-my-course/m-p/435

Welcome!

GregReverdiau · ‎03-09-2019

The best way I found to navigate is to just go to the Studio U and scroll through the latest posts and see if something pique my interest. Then I usually go to the unanswered tab to see if I can help someone. Then I do the same with the Instructor Club. Hope you find a good flow that works for you.

GregReverdiau · ‎03-09-2019

Did you ever figure out the issue? Bumping this, in case someone sees it now. If you fixed it, please tell us how, it might help someone in the future.

vinod · ‎03-09-2019

When you hover over the courses, you will see the edit/manage courses. And you can click the same to make changes to your courses. All the best. Vinod.

Thor · ‎03-08-2019

I have a brief video lecture on " .. now what?", where I give suggestions on what to do next, tell them about my other course and resources. Then I have a downloadable pdf with links and how to approach the exam, and I have links to my other courses, my website and resources.

Joeel! Thanks. Quite a lot if work, putting courses together... @Joeel-Natalie wrote: I used to edit a batch of videos and saved them as I went along then render them as I worked on other things or even if I was just relaxing at night watching something I would keep the computer next to me and just load the next video to render once the other one finished. When I got a better computer I could render two videos at a time and still was able to edit another one in the proccess. Therefore, by the time I finished editing one of the other two were done rendering and it was a smooth transition because I could not edit fast enough to have down time. At the end of the day one of the biggest mistake I made was not investing in a better computer earlier as I would have saved countless hours. Research. Outline. Scripting n editing. Arrangement. Recording. Physical body Exercises. Editing n Rendering. Optimization for data size. Sales Copywriting for Description. Uploading. Coping with exhaustion Post-Course Production. 😁😁😁👍

What help do you need? You’re gonna have to be more specific. Is that a topic you are expert in?

GregReverdiau · ‎03-07-2019

I'm a totally DIYer, mostly because I like building stuff and I like the challenge of learning new skills, so I built myself a teleprompter out of an old 8.5x11 picture frame. It was designed to display the screen of an iPad but because of the distance, I couldn't read the smaller font. So I figured out how to use the "zoom" function on the iPad (designed for people with vision issues) and I had my image zoomed in enough so I could read it but in most cases, it cut out a portion of the screen lol. I knew the topic enough that I didn't need that portion but it surely made it interesting. I have since upgraded to a bigger (also DIY) teleprompter screen but I don't need to zoom anymore 😄

GregReverdiau · ‎03-06-2019

Welcome Azeden. Do you have a specific question about electronic that you would like to share?

MarkLassoff · ‎03-06-2019

Thanks, @GregReverdiau . Us pilots always find each other.

vinod · ‎03-05-2019

Promo video --> Music may add value, Lecture videos --> Music is a distraction In my humble opinion

ScottDuffy · ‎03-05-2019

To be honest, some topics will be nearly impossible to succeed in. A brand new instructor is just not going to come into the "Excel" category with an "introduction to Excel" course and replace the #1 course in there. Some course topics are "done". I would advise you choose a course topic that allows you the opportunity to be #1 or #2 this year. Ranking a course is not luck. It's not a roll of the dice when you launch a course if you will be a success. But start with a course topic that allows you to be clearly different than what is out there.

GregReverdiau · ‎03-04-2019

Take a look at Udemy and research the topic, there are quite a few people doing this kind of course. See if you can create something unique to compete in that space.

LawrenceMMiller · ‎03-04-2019

Let's drop it. I changed already. The point is still made.

RogerKayAllen · ‎03-04-2019

It does help, Rob. I appreciate you weighing in on this.

Thor · ‎03-03-2019

OHAI GREG! (also awesome video).

GregReverdiau · ‎03-02-2019

Mauro, The only kind of quizzes available at the moment on Udemy is multiple choice. Several instructors have requested more types of quizzes and hopefully, Udemy does implement them.

JasonDion · ‎02-27-2019

When it comes to "Be Able", I like to think about the relatively low barrier to entry we have these days to build our businesses online. What I mean by this is that in the old days, if I wanted to hold a training course on a topic, I would have to rent a conference room or classroom, I would have to advertise in the newspaper, I would have to find all the students, get them all together, and handle every piece of the customer service and sales aspect, all before I even got the opportunity to teach something. But, with the new online world we have and with sites like Udemy, I am able to record myself teaching, post those videos, and reach students all over the world with my messages and training. The internet has really helped me to Be Able in reaching over 100,000 students through Udemy and beyond! Jason Dion

Motionhub · ‎02-27-2019

Thank you for your supporting answer. Actually, I set my course to free in order to get some reviews because nobody knows me in udemy and I got 32 students now. Should I contact them and ask them for reviews?

Ekta · ‎02-27-2019

Its just a quick win worksheet for them to get started on course and get engaged, After which i offer them a coupon for next course. I dont know how I will be doing this. Seems there needs to be an integrated system in place. Dont know of any possible solution as of now.

LawrenceMMiller · ‎02-24-2019

Actually, I use Adobe Premiere Elements. It does everything I need. Lots of transitions, fads, unlimited levels, complete color and light control, etc. It costs about $80 U.S. with no monthly payments. I recommend it.
