In course creation, your lessons are the structure in which you divide and present your learning materials to your audience. I often get asked the question, "What is the best lesson type when it comes to course creation?"

The truth is, there is no golden lesson that is the best to teach. There is no one-size-fits-all lesson type that's going to work like magic.

When it comes to course creation, the best lesson comes down to a number of factors, but mainly it's the one that you can produce and the one that your audience is going to receive.

It's the lesson, or mix of lessons, that you can deliver to your audience and your students will respond to. This is why it is also important to learn the different learning styles when it comes to creating your lessons. I have covered the different learning styles in a previous episode of the Course Creators Circle Podcast, so I encourage you to listen back to that episode if you haven't already.

To engage your student in the best way possible, the goal is to create a content mix. In this article, you'll learn about the variety of content and lesson types you can use within your course. I personally use these lessons in my own Thinkific courses.

Ten lesson types that you can apply in your course creation:

•Set up a two-camera video. Online learning is lonely. By doing a two-camera video setup, you create a human to human connection with your students. Videos allow you to engage with your students, convey emotions, and help you connect with your audience.

We can use slides with your video to alternate with your face on camera. We can add in a transcript that allows people to read along or clarify anything they've misheard. To even make our video lessons more dynamic, we can even add notes, handouts, downloads, activities, or worksheets along with our video, which can increase the engagement and participation of our students.

Videos can be quick to produce. Don't aim for perfection. In fact, we want to encourage our students that it's alright to be imperfect. Aim to be real and authentic. Showing your audience the real you makes you more relatable to them.

•Screencasting. If you want to make teach people how to do something through a how-to video, then share your screen. Screencast and share your presentation. you can even use a clicker so people can feel like you're in a room with them doing an actual presentation.
