  • Introduce the subject - what it is about and what issues it is aimed at addressing ("what is the "pain"?)
  • What is the target audience? Who will benefit from the course?
  • Course structure
  • How to navigate, i.e. pick and choose or need to do all the sections in the order they are presented
  • If any quizzes or assessment - mention it and say what the benefits of doing the assessment activities are.
  • Estimated course duration
  • The course place in the "bigger picture" - refer to the "road map" (i.e. it is recommended that you do the module XYZ first before you start this  course"

  • How to get help
  • What is next?
  • Please do not forget to tag your course - this is important to enable the "search" facility in the future.
