Does this sound familiar?
You enter a classroom or training session and pose a question to the group for them to discuss. As they are discussing a learner asks a question that sparks you into a short animated comment from somewhere deep inside your subject Tacit Knowledge.

When you migrate this lesson online, you probably start with the discussion question. But 90% of the time you probably don’t even think about adding the extra information like you would F2F.

This lesson explores specific & vital information you may be leaving out of your online content. [And don’t even realize it!]

We have all been here!

Here is another situation similar to the one above.
You record a video lesson for your course. During editing you realize you missed a KEY point. What do you do?

  • You can rerecord the entire video.
  • You can ‘graphic text’ over the video.
  • You can chop the video and add the point — killing the vibe and flow.
  • You can put it in the notes.

OR you can follow certain steps to NOT miss key points
