Audio Into An E-Learning Course

Many professionals who have been giving webinars or conducting teleseminars are unaware that they can very easily repurpose this audio content into a very effective e-learning course. Let us show you how you can repurpose your audio content into an e-learning course.

·    To begin with, we have to understand where the content for the e-learning course will be coming from. All the recordings of your webinars or teleseminars are excellent sources for content. Get these recordings transcribed and polish them up a little. See if you can divide the content into about five or seven main pieces. These will be the key concepts in your e-learning course.
·    You can now expand on each key concept the way you want to. You may want to add some freshly researched material, figures or numbers to add more substance and also provide links to relevant websites or blogs. Try to include a uniform amount of material for each concept.
·    Once the main content is more or less ready, you may want to write up a brief introduction, explaining what the aim of the e-learning course is, what kind of background knowledge are readers expected to have in that field and any other clarifications that you may seek to provide.
·    At the end of the e-course, you may want to provide a brief summary of what you think the reader should have learnt. Give more references and links to additional resources that the reader can look up.
·    Suppose you have about five key concepts. Including the introduction and the summary, you now have about seven days worth of e-course. Of course, it may be tempting to include everything in one big ebook and make it available for download. However, not many will have the patient to read through entire ebooks. On the other hand, an e-course spread over a few days or weeks, perhaps even months, allows the readers to grasp the key concepts better, gives them time to look at the links and come up with questions for each session.
·    An e-course makes for a better learning experience since it is not hurried and many of the concepts can be explained more clearly than through seminars or ebooks. Not only that, your readers have more time to remember your professional expertise and you have more time to actually demonstrate the deep understanding that you have of the subject.
·    Once your e-learning course is ready, you can send out the information to all the customers who had attended your webinar or teleseminar. Request them to spread the news around. You could also send an email if you have a subscribers list requesting visitors to enroll for your e-course.
·    All those who have enrolled for your e-learning course may still be interested in listening to your audio recording. Give them the option of downloading the audio file for free if they enroll for your course.

With a powerful combination of neatly organized written content and audio files, you can present a very effective e-learning course, all repurposed from your audio content.
