a single source, nothing corroborates it

Scope the course to a single goal

A course covering one narrow outcome is a fraction of the length of one covering a discipline, and people actually reach the end of it, which is what the buyer was paying for. Keep each lesson short and single-purpose to raise completion, and generate the scaffolding from a topic prompt so producing one takes hours rather than weeks.

The method

1. 01

   Scope a course to one goal instead of a whole discipline: the narrow version is a fraction of the length and people actually reach the end.

2. 02

   Keep each lesson short and single-purpose, because shorter lessons raise the share of students who complete the course.

3. 03

   Generate the lesson and quiz scaffolding from a topic prompt so a lead magnet takes hours rather than weeks to produce.
