#Who This Template Is For

• Course creators running cohort-based programs
• Online educators managing structured curricula
• Coaches delivering multi-week training programs
• Membership site owners organizing learning paths
• Content creators building educational products

#Pain Points This Template Solves

Course creators struggle to keep cohorts on track. Students lose their place in the curriculum. Deliverables pile up without deadlines. Course content lacks structure and students feel overwhelmed.

Without clear organization, completion rates drop, students disengage, and course revenue suffers from poor reviews.

#Why Course Structure Matters For Online Education

Completion rates define course success. Most online courses have completion rates below 15%. The courses that succeed have clear structure, paced delivery, and accountability mechanisms. Organization isn't optional - it's the difference between revenue and refunds.

Students need guidance, not just content. Dumping videos into a portal isn't a course. Students need to know what to do today, what comes next, and how it all connects. Structure provides that navigation.

Deliverables create transformation. Passive consumption doesn't create results. Courses that require deliverables - completed exercises, submitted projects, demonstrated skills - actually change student outcomes.

Cohort energy drives completion. Cohort-based courses outperform self-paced because peer accountability matters. But cohorts only work when everyone moves through the material together, which requires clear pacing.

#How To Use This Template

#1. Create Your Board

Sign up for t0ggles and create a new board using the Launch Academy template. Your course management workspace is ready for student tracking.

#2. Customize Your Curriculum

Rename modules to match your course structure. Adjust lesson titles and descriptions. Add or remove content types as needed for your teaching style.

#3. Track Student Progress

Use the Day property to sequence content. Filter by status to see what's Not Started, In Progress, or Completed. The Type property helps students identify lessons vs. action items.

#4. Manage Deliverables

Deliverable tasks have clear requirements and checklists. Students track their progress through each module's final deliverable before advancing.

#5. Share Resources

Use Notes to store templates, scripts, and checklists. Students access these resources alongside their curriculum tasks.

#Best Practices For Online Course Delivery

#Structure Content by Type

Not all content is equal. Lessons teach concepts. Action items apply them. Reflections deepen understanding. Deliverables prove mastery. Different types need different approaches.

Tip: The Type property categorizes each piece of content. Lessons get consumed. Action items get done. Deliverables get submitted. Students know what's expected for each.

#Pace the Curriculum Deliberately

Overwhelming students with content leads to dropout. Too little and they lose momentum. Finding the right pace is crucial.

Tip: The Day property sequences content. Design for consistent daily effort - maybe one lesson plus one action item per day. The Calendar view shows how content flows over time.

#Make Deliverables Gate Progress

If students can skip deliverables, they will. But deliverables are where learning happens. Make them required.

Tip: Use task dependencies so the next module's content depends on the current module's deliverable. Students can't skip ahead without doing the work.

#Provide Clear Time Estimates

Students need to plan their time. "Watch this video" is vague. "30-minute video plus 45-minute exercise" is plannable.

Tip: The Duration property sets expectations. Be realistic - underestimating leads to frustrated students who fall behind.

#Build in Reflection Points

Learning requires processing time. Reflection prompts help students consolidate what they've learned before moving on.

Tip: Include Reflection type tasks between major sections. These don't need deliverables - just prompts for students to pause and think.

#Common Course Delivery Challenges

#The Dropout Cliff

Students start strong but disappear by week two. Completion rates plummet. Refund requests arrive.

Solution: Clear structure keeps students oriented. The Day property shows where they are and what's next. Dependencies create natural momentum. Progress through statuses provides satisfaction.

#The Overwhelm Spiral

Too much content, too fast. Students feel behind from day one. Stress leads to avoidance, which leads to more falling behind.

Solution: Deliberate pacing prevents overwhelm. Duration estimates help students plan. One deliverable per module keeps workload manageable. Clear progression through statuses shows achievable chunks.

#The Passive Consumption Trap

Students watch videos but don't do the work. They feel like they're learning but aren't actually changing behavior or building skills.

Solution: Action Items and Deliverables require active engagement. Dependencies mean students can't just watch videos and skip exercises. The Type property makes expectations clear.

#The Lost Student

"Wait, what am I supposed to be doing?" Students lose track of where they are in the curriculum and what comes next.

Solution: The board is a roadmap. Filter by module to see current work. The Day property shows sequence. Status columns show progress. Students always know what's next.

#The Resource Hunt

Students need a template discussed in a lesson. Or a checklist mentioned weeks ago. Hunting through videos is frustrating and time-consuming.

Solution: Notes store all course resources in one accessible place. Templates, checklists, scripts - everything students need, organized and searchable.

#Course Delivery Workflow Patterns

#The Cohort Launch

Start each cohort with clear expectations:

1. Share board access with all students
2. Walk through the structure in kickoff session
3. Explain how statuses, modules, and deliverables work
4. Set expectations for pace and participation
5. Start everyone on Module 1, Day 1

#The Weekly Check-In

Keep cohorts moving together:

1. Review completion rates by module
2. Identify students falling behind
3. Send encouragement to stragglers
4. Celebrate students who completed deliverables
5. Preview what's coming next week

#The Module Transition

Move cohorts through the curriculum:

1. Set deadline for current module deliverable
2. Review and provide feedback on submissions
3. Unlock next module for students who completed
4. Address common questions from module
5. Preview and build excitement for next module

#The Course Completion

End with celebration and next steps:

1. Final deliverable submitted
2. Completion certificates issued
3. Gather testimonials and feedback
4. Offer next-level programs
5. Archive cohort and prepare for next launch
