Online teaching is the upgraded version of Traditional Teaching. None of us expected the success of online teaching and how it will touch the sky. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, there is a 95% increase in online classes and 90% of the students are more interested in Online Classes. Online Teaching is a great platform for teaching as you can anchor your skills and earn an attractive income. No matter what you are good at Coding, Writing, Digital Marketing, Operations, etc; you will find many students who are eager to learn the Certified courses.

 

There are two kinds of platforms for hosting online courses:

  • Course academies (such as Udemy, Khan Academy, and Lynda)
  • Course creation and selling platforms (such as Teachable and Thinkific)

 

Course academies:

  • have built in traffic.
  • will market your course for you.
  • control the price that your course sells for (course prices on these platforms are at the low end of the spectrum: as little as $19 and usually no more than $150)
  • business model= high volume of sales at low price
  • course academies are like directories of courses: your course will be discoverable in a directory of different categories.

 

Course Creation/Selling Platforms:

  • don’t send any traffic to your course.
  • the marketing of your course is entirely up to you.
  • you have complete control over pricing.
  • offer various pricing options such as coupons, bundling courses together, upsells, etc. 
  • business model = low volume of sales at a premium price
  • your course is not discoverable on their website.

WizIQ

WizIQ is a cloud-based virtual classroom software platform with an easy-to-use interface that simplifies the virtual classroom experience. The platform allows teachers to host live classroom sessions with two-way communication, which means you get to engage directly with your students in real time — no matter where everyone is located.

WizIQ has some helpful features, such as a tool for digital hand raising, an interactive whiteboard, and analytics and reports on student performance. Teachers can store documents, recorded video and audio sessions, and other resources for students to easily access at any time if they miss class or need to review a lesson. This also helps you stay organized because the tools you need for class are in one location.

Teachable

Formerly Fedora, Teachable is a platform where you can create and sell online courses. It helps you create your course materials using different media, customise and brand your course (e.g., logo, colour, style etc) and launch it. The rest is taken care by the platform which also gives you some data such as learner analytics and course revenue.

Helphub

This is an online tutoring website. It instantly connects tutors and students over online messaging and tutoring calls. It is also possible to have group tutoring sessions. It looks like a casual way of teaching and learning. Users post their questions and receive an answer from tutors. What makes it interesting is that you see the tutors who are online and start chatting with them instantly.

Teachers Pay Teachers

Rather than a place to teach students, this is a website where instructors can either sell or share freely their teaching materials. Teachers may post videos, learning kits, lesson plans, study guides, clip art, and much more that they can choose to give away or charge for. If there is a charge involved, teachers earn royalties on the money earned.

 

Perhaps you have never thought of teaching online before, but we assure you that you will be amazed once you discover the world of online teaching and the opportunities it offers.

 

Once you’ve completed all of the planning, jump right in and start building your online course. It’s really only through experimenting on online learning platforms that you’ll know what you’re doing wrong and what’s working. Ask for feedback from your friends and social networks and get started teaching online!
