Your online course is almost ready – But before publishing it, you should test it one more time! But do you know what to look for? We have 5 questions for you that will help you with this self-check:

You've probably invested a lot of time and energy into creating your online course. It should be really perfect before the first participants engage with it. But sometimes you become blind to small mistakes over time. That's why a final self-check is definitely worthwhile. After all, published errors are harder to correct later on. Additionally, you want to make a professional impression on your course participants. The following questions will help you pay attention to small details.
