Abstract
The course is aimed at anyone who wants to learn how to create an online course from scratch, utilize their expert knowledge, and make online teaching an additional source of income. This course may be recommended to students of various educational programs. The course participants will learn how to design the structure and program of three formats of online courses (asynchronous, synchronous, and blended) taking into account the basic principles of design, and marketing strategies to promote the online course and attract learners. Depending on the goals and objectives of the course, students will learn through practice the most relevant services for creating educational materials (video, interactive educational content, assessment testing, etc). By the end of the course, students will go from a floating idea to independently designing three formats of distance courses and developing interactive content. The course is conducted in English. The required level of language proficiency is B2 CEFR.
