Examopotamia1. Start with the outcome
Finish this sentence: “After this course, people can …”. Keep it concrete, such as “handle a customer complaint using our four steps” or “build a pivot table”. Everything in the course should help reach that outcome.
2. Split it into small lessons
Aim for four to eight lessons that each take five to ten minutes. One idea per lesson. Short lessons are easier to finish on a phone and easier to come back to.
3. Make each lesson visual
Write the key points as short paragraphs and bullet points, then add one strong visual: a diagram, a screenshot, a short video or an audio clip. Attach longer material, like a handbook or a template, as a document people can download.
4. Check learning with quizzes
Add a short quiz after every two or three lessons, with five to ten questions. Set a pass mark, often 70–80% for training, so people revisit the lesson if they are not ready. Write questions about applying the idea, not just remembering words. Our guide on setting a pass mark explains how to choose one.
5. Decide on a certificate
A certificate is a reason to finish and a record for the learner and for you. With Examopotamia, every finished course can give a certificate with its own link and ID, so anyone can check it.
6. Launch, then improve
Share the course link with a small group first. Look at where people stop and which quiz questions most people get wrong, then improve that lesson. You can build all of this with the online course builder; learners keep their progress when you update it.
