Online learning is a popular member benefit that provides members with the convenience of learning when and where they want. Because of this, many associations invest time and resources to make sure their online programs deliver what their members want. Associations that get it right see significant increases in member engagement and renewal rates. In this article, we will share three keys tips for keeping your course content fresh and relevant for members and their learning goals.
- Content Auditing: One of the most important aspects of every successful online learning program is content management. Content auditing is a part of the content (or course!) management lifecycle that involves reviewing content to make sure that all published content/coursework is up-to-date and relevant for your members and their learning goals. Be sure to set up a regular maintenance schedule to perform.
- Course Completion Surveys: Course completion surveys are surveys that are given to participants following a course. The goal of these surveys is to get feedback about the course’s setup, process and, of course, content. When you add content-focused questions to these surveys, you can gain important insights that will help you make key decisions in the content audit process.
- Outcome Mapping: A Learning Outcomes Map can help you keep the big picture learning objectives in mind as you audit and edit course content. For those unfamiliar with the term, think of this map as a table of contents of your course that maps all learning objectives to their correlating assignments, discussions and projects. Outcome mapping helps you keep the big picture in mind as you dive into and edit course content.
