Hi Steve, I just did some broad research based on businesses which would have a similar business model and market as ours.  I find it interesting that the price point is consistently low.  More to come. TV

 

Snap shot of some of the online learning programs that would be similar to ours:

 

 

Shift Nework (Stephan Dinan)

Sample of classes:

• Lynne Mc Taggart—6 ninety minute classes--$237

6 classes on line streaming plus follow up "classes" aimed at connecting the participants

• Gay and Kathlyn Hendrichs-8 ninety minute classes--$287

            7 30 minute group practices

            Unlimited access to recordings of all class sessions

            PDF transcript for each session

 

NursingCEU.com

Sample of classes:

• Alzheimers training-4 contact hours--$30
• Asthma training-6 contact hours-$39
• Breast Cancer -6 contact hours-$39

 

Health e-learning

Sample of Classes:

• Anatomy and Physiology of Lactation--$129 plus 12 CEU'S. This is not a live program. The curriculum is written and the student is sent a program to complete in one month of purchase of the program

 

Omega

Sample of Classes:

• Soul Care in Health Care (Joan Borysenko)—5-day intensive + Distance Learning tutorial (twice a month online and teleconference--$1,270  NBCC (counselors) credit for certified counselors

Sounds True

Sample of Classes

• Mindfulness and the Brain-(Jack Kornfield and Dan Siegel MD)—2 hour long interactive video sessions + et of written course materials and 8 audio downloads totally 6 weeks of immersion studies. $99

This will be useful when we start putting the numbers together for "business plan"

Don't Miss Our September 16 & 17 Online Forum: E-Learning Instructional and Graphic Design Best Practices

Designing for Success on September 16 & 17: E-Learning Instructional and Graphic Design Best Practices This Online Forum will examine both the structure of e-Learning content (instructional design) and its look and feel (graphic design). Often, we put the most effort into the former – making sure we teach the right topics in the correct order – but we neglect the latter. Good instructional design is critical, but no matter how good the content, the learners need to be able to navigate the course easily. In E-Learning Instructional and Graphic Design Best Practices, you will learn techniques for designing the content, and how to best present that content to ensure that the learners learn!
