This is the most recent update for Courses: built-in content dripping!
As with a carefully planned curriculum, our new drip feature to teach course material makes sure that students are receiving their education at the exact doses precisely when they require them.
Be sure not to overwhelm them with too much in one go or making them rush in the opposite direction. Dripping allows you to deliver your course content in smaller pieces, thereby keeping your students engaged and excited for what's next.
The new features it will grow in line according to your needs and make easier than ever to manage and organize the content of your online course.
What is Course Content Dripping?
Everyone has had those times... where you've watched every television series in one weekend and then stayed up all night turning pages upon pages in a new book or to realize that you've eaten an entire box of cookies with chocolate chips... entirely on your own ().
Although a treat might be tempting at first but it can leave us feeling unfulfilled afterward.
Learning could be the exact way. When students take in excessive quantities of information in a short period of time It could lead to
- anxiety: Worrying they missed something important or made mistakes.
- regret: Wishing they had taken more time to grasp the subject.
- Questions: Inquiring if people really understood the content.
- Insanity You feel overwhelmed by all the information you can get all at once.
These aren't feelings you want students to experience following the conclusion of your class.
This is where the contents drip in!
Instead of giving your students everything in one go, teaching content drips allow the release of the information in regularly scheduled intervals. This method helps them learn more slowly with each lesson, keep learners engaged and improve their learning.
What difference will Content Dripping Bring to Your course?
1. Take One Step at a Time a Time
Instead of providing students with access to all of the information simultaneously, Dripping allows every module or lesson in a specific arrangement, to help them develop their understanding slowly.
This method is designed to help students to feel that they are making progress achieved and the accomplishments they have during the class.
Consider your lesson in terms of the literal staircase in which each step is an entirely brand new idea. It is essential that students master the basics prior to moving on to the next. They must be able to grasp fundamental concepts before they tackle more complicated concepts.
2. Students to be engaged and maintain their interest
As students are aware that there will be new material regularly, which allows them to generate enthusiasm and interest. It keeps them interested and they're eagerly anticipating the next course or module.
They become accustomed to setting the time for each new class, which will increase chances of staying on the same page and stay loyal to the class right from the beginning to the it's end.
3. Offer Content at the Right Time
Dripping of course content gives you the total freedom of choosing what and when lessons are released to ensure they're perfectly aligned in your program.
It doesn't matter if you're explaining a complex concept that requires additional attention or getting ready to tackle a task that requires longer, content drip allows you to adjust the delivery of your material in order to satisfy the needs of your students and your learning objectives.
4. aids everyone to be able to learn in the same way
Dripping content from the course can be a great way to make sure that students move forward with a regular pace and ensure that no student advances too quickly or lags at the mid-point.
In releasing material at set intervals, it is possible to make a culture of learning that's cohesive, that allows everybody to grow with one.
Furthermore, since everybody is in class together, you are able to quickly spot and tackle the subjects where students might need additional assistance, and make sure that no one is not left in the cold.
5. Learn to make it relevant and Easily Manageable
Learning is one that the students can enjoy, not a stressful process. If the whole course is taught in one sitting and is not planned in advance, it could cause anxiety and stress.
Dripping course content offers an approach that is more user-friendly, with lessons delivered in small and manageable pieces.
Instead of having to master everything in one go, students can take in the knowledge they need at their own speed, thereby making the procedure more personal and achievable.
If you break down your material, you give a sense of satisfaction to your students after they have completed every section. It helps to keep their interest and keeps students interested in the process going.
In short, course Dripping could be an extremely effective method to keep your students focused, motivated and on the right track. It's a straightforward but effective technique to alter the method by which you present your lessons, making learning more enjoyable to everyone who is who is.
NEW The Dripping Of Course Content that reduces the Regulations of Courses
The process of setting up the course's content drip used to be somewhat of an issue, with a number of stages and configurations. It was efficient and was effective, but we'll be honest this wasn't an efficient way to accomplish it.
We saw that there was a need to have a more simplified solution. That's why we've integrated our Rules feature directly into the Courses Add-on. Setting up your drip schedules is much more effortless and easy.
The new built-in drip feature, you are able to create drip schedules with no need to exit the program creator. It not only helps save time but also guarantees your materials for your course will be protected and distributed according to plan.
You can also modify the drip message in the settings, making it easy to notify your students when the new version of content will be available. This can help maintain the expectations of your students and ensure that everyone is on the on the same page.
We've taken charge of all technical aspects, we've enabled students to concentrate only on the most important thing: creating top-notch course content.

If your students are racing ahead, you should plan the curriculum of your class in a way that keeps students on track and in the course at hand.
