Description

This LMScast will show you how to name your online course so students will notice you and take a closer look at what you can offer them. Just as a book title or email subject line can make you want to read further, your course title should have the same effect.

Choosing a name for your course is crucial to its success, so have patience and see how the course develops to choose a title that represents you well.

There are several things to consider in the naming process. Test how the name sounds when you say it out loud, because a reader will “hear” it in their head as they read it. You want a name that’s different from others to reinforce your own unique teaching style and content. Usually a short, simple name is more memorable, but if you want a longer name make sure it’s necessary to describe the specifics of what you’re doing. You can make an old concept sound new and instill curiosity with creative wording, or focus on results with active terms in your title. And niche-specific language is a great way to reach a target market.

Your course title is a form of branding as it defines your scope as well as your course, so choose a name you could expand upon beyond a single instance. How you name your online course is important, so take time to create the best title possible.
