Engaging Learners with Practical Challenges with Angie Jones

from Badass Courses Hosted by Joel Hooks

If you've ever taken a course on the internet you may have come across an exercise or some kind example that just left you thinking okay but why? This lack of real-world context is a problem that a lot of courses suffer from. Creating examples that are engaging learners, isolates the skill being used, while also showing off the context in which the skill is used takes time and expertise but the payoff is well worth it. It's not just examples/exercises though. Creating an engaging environment to learn in is important. Angie Jones has a ton of advice in this episode and talks about what she did at Test Automation University to build that environment. The true goal of all this work is to improve the outcomes of your learners. Making sure that you are giving them the means to succeed and stay committed to their learning goals on your platform. If you stay true to this goal, you'll both improve the lives of your learners and the success of your business.
