About This Event

"From Concept to Course: Mastering Writing for Authors" is a concise, one-hour workshop designed to kickstart your journey in course creation. This session offers a blend of focused presentation and hands-on practice, providing you with essential tools to enhance your educational writing skills.

We'll begin by introducing a practical framework for content development, touching on establishing purpose, defining content, teaching skills, and encouraging reflection.

You'll also get a brief overview of the ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) to help you create more engaging content.

The workshop then shifts focus to improving writing quality, drawing inspiration from William Zinsser's "On Writing." We'll quickly explore crucial concepts such as:

- Simplicity and clarity
- Developing your style
- Understanding your audience
- Crafting effective leads and endings
- Eliminating unnecessary content

Through a short, guided exercise, you'll have the opportunity to apply these principles to a piece of your own course material. While the timeframe doesn't allow for in-depth exploration, you'll gain valuable insights and practical tips to immediately enhance your course writing.
