Short answer
To turn a workshop or webinar into an online course, cut the recording into short lessons, group them into modules, add an exercise or quiz to each module, then publish at a clear price. On learnfrom.co you upload each video to its lesson, attach files and build quizzes, and pay per enrolled student with no monthly fee.
Why a workshop makes a good course
A workshop already has a clear topic, examples and an audience willing to pay for attention. Turning it into a course is mostly editing rather than writing from scratch. Live recordings often run long and wander, so plan time for editing.
Step 1: Outline the course from the recording
Skim the recording or your notes and list each topic the speaker covered. Each topic becomes one lesson. Group related lessons into modules of three to six lessons so learners can finish a module in one sitting.
Step 2: Cut the video into short lessons
- Aim for 5 to 15 minutes per lesson, with one idea in each.
- Remove the parts that only matter live, such as technical checks, room chatter and questions that don't help a learner.
- Add a short summary to each lesson in its description so learners know what they'll get.
- Keep the full recording as a bonus lesson if it adds value.
Step 3: Add exercises and files
Live workshops depend on people doing things together. In a course, close each module with a quiz, worksheet or short task. Attach slides, templates or checklists as files so learners can use them after the session.
Step 4: Set it up on learnfrom.co
- Create a course and add one module for each section of the workshop.
- Upload each video to its lesson. A lesson can only use videos uploaded to that lesson.
- Attach slides and templates as files to the lessons where they are used.
- Build a quiz at the end of each module to check understanding.
- Set a price and publish when the course is ready.
What it costs to sell the course
learnfrom.co charges per enrolled student, not a monthly fee. The rate is $4.99 for the first 250 students, $3.49 for students 251 to 1,000, and $1.99 after that. A course with 100 enrolled students costs $499 in total.
Mistakes to avoid
- Publishing the raw recording with no structure. Learners drop off when they can't see where to start.
- Referring to the live event, such as "as I said earlier" or "join us next week". A course should stand on its own for people who did not attend.
- Skipping the next step. End each module with a clear action, such as a task or the next lesson.
Once the course is live, see how to set its price in how much does it cost to host an online course.
