5 Ways to Help Your Students Complete Your Online Course

With the surge in digital education, helping students remain engaged and complete online courses has become a focal point for educators. Ensuring course completion isn't just about great content; it's also about delivering it effectively.

Here are five simple strategies to boost your course's completion rate.

 

Bite-Sized Learning for Better Engagement 

Online students often juggle various responsibilities, from work to personal commitments. Delivering content in bite-sized modules ensures they can fit learning into their busy schedules. Short, concise lessons make information more digestible and offer a quicker sense of achievement, urging them to move forward.

Try to keep the length of each lesson in your module below 10 minutes. You know the saying; how do you eat an Elephant? One bite at a time. Don't give them an elephant; give them a tasting menu.

 

Multimedia: Catering to Diverse Learning Styles 

The modern student has diverse learning preferences. By weaving in multimedia elements like videos, infographics, and podcasts, you keep the content fresh and cater to visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learners. This multi-faceted approach guarantees that all students find segments of the course that resonate with their preferred learning style.

Don't bombard them with the same old format, mix it up a bit throughout your course to help keep them interested and engaged.

 

Building a Learner Community for Increased Motivation 

A sense of isolation can seriously deter online students from finishing a course. We all know how many distractions there are these days, so if they don't have people to engage with on the journey, they'll be off to the next Facebook Post or video of a cat climbing up a curtain.

To aid the course, set up a robust virtual community and encouraging peer interactions through forums, discussion boards, or dedicated social media groups. When students share experiences, ask questions, and engage in collaborative learning, their motivation to continue surges.

They'll also be encouraged to stay on with any follow up trainings or membership you might offer. Win, win.

 

Feedback: Correcting and Motivating Students 

Feedback is the cornerstone of effective learning. Regular checkpoints in the form of automated quizzes or instructor-led assessments can correct those misunderstandings and keep students on track. Moreover, whether automated or personal, constructive feedback acts as a motivational tool, giving students the push they often need.

Kajabi has some great quiz functionality that you can sprinkle throughout your modules and lessons. After all, who doesn't like a good quiz? 

 

Celebrating Achievements to Boost Course Completion Rates 

Every milestone is a step closer to course completion, no matter how small, so make sure these achievements are recognised and celebrated. Whether it's digital badges, certificates, or congratulatory messages, recognising progress fosters a sense of accomplishment, urging students to see the course through to its end.

If it suits your content and training style, include gamification in your course. Again, Kajabi has some fantastic themes to help you up the game.

  

Conclusion

In a world where information is abundant and time is precious, concise and impactful learning is a testament to effective education. Through the lens of Kajabi, we've discovered that brevity doesn't compromise depth; instead, it enhances engagement and retention.

By focusing on core concepts, breaking down content into digestible portions, and harnessing the power of multimedia, we can create a learning journey that is both enlightening and manageable.
