    Beautifully designed, highly targeted action plans focused on guiding you through every step of setting up your course to ensure a great learning experience for your course participants.

  • One-on-one coaching

    You get four hours of intensive personal coaching (a $500 value). Normally my coaching is separate from my courses, but I am building this bonus into the pilot just for you!

Enrollment is limited

This is a special pilot course

I'm limiting enrollment because each of you will get two one-on-one coaching sessions (a $250 value, included for free). I'll show you, in depth, how to apply the Course Design Formula™ directly to your course. Each coaching session is half an hour long. You'll get access to a free coaching mini-course to help you schedule, prepare for, and follow through on each of your coaching sessions.

How the course works

  • Weekly Zoom meetings

    We will meet for six weeks on Zoom. You are encouraged to attend live if possible, but the meetings will be recorded and posted in the course player for those who are not able to attend, or for you to review at any time during the course. An additional optional meeting is included for those who want more support.

  • Interactive action plans

    This is where the magic happens. You'll see your course come to life and your lessons "pop" out in 3D in ways you could not have imagined before applying the Course Design Formula™.The action plans are yours to use both during and after the course to design any course, lesson, workshop or webinar you can dream up.

  • Bonuses

    You'll get six full-color fillable workbooks you can use to design not only this but any course in the future. You'll get two personal in depth coaching sessions to help you apply the Course Design Formula™ correctly to your specific course design vision and challenges.

Who am I and how can I help?

Instructor Bio:

I earned my BA with honors from Harvard University and hold two Masters Degrees in Education. My first Masters degree is in curriculum design and the second is in instructional technology. My professional and academic experience includes designing instruction for people of all ages, in contexts ranging from classrooms to workshops to field trips and tours. For 15 years I served as the education coordinator for public agencies in Southern California, where I designed, developed and delivered education programs to thousands of students in 12 school districts. The education programs I developed won national awards. I’ve spent the past ten years exploring the complex issue of how to take learning experiences that work well face to face, and translate them for online learning. My focus and expertise are in helping you make your subject matter engaging and easy for your learners to understand. It will be an honor to work with you to ensure that your online course achieves the hopes and dreams you have for it!

The Course Design Formula™ is the research-based five-step process I've created to help you build YOUR course in a way that is fast, effective, and fun. It's based on the research I conducted while earning my Masters in Instructional Technology, as well as my 30+ years of professional experience in education and instructional design. It's been tested with experts like you who are developing online courses, and it works every time to take the stress and overwhelm out of online course design. The Course Design Formula™ will help you plan, design, and build your course fast as you:


  • Clarify the transformation your course delivers
  • Discover the type of learning your course contains
  • Structure your course based on how people learn that type of material best
  • Plan each of your lessons to promote maximum learning
  • Select the best media for every message your course delivers


The Course Design Formula™ takes the stress, guesswork, and wasted effort out of building your course. This pilot course has been set up to help you learn how to use the Course Design Formula™ to quickly plan, design, and build your own online course. In only six weeks you'll have not only the tools and systems you need to build the course you are working on now, but also any other course you decide to create in the future.
