Let's look into the ways that Bitesize Bio uses to make practical knowledge and training information accessible, understandable and useful for the scientists in their network.
The Home Page
Right away on the homepage of Bitesize Bio, you'll see their courses advertised on the top of their webpage. This banner will entice users to sign up by explaining what the courses can offer. It promises to help you improve on a skill which is essential to many academics and scientists, it's hard to not hit the "enroll" button!
The banners that follow their courses contain numerous stories, podcasts, and other materials that are accessible for anyone curious about their offerings. The numerous resources available that are available on their homepage will entice visitors to discover what courses they offer as they present the website as an authoritative source for details.
In Action
Access settings for courses permit you to set the criteria that determine what a person can do to gain access to and keeps using the course. It is possible to set your course as completely open, free that requires registration, one-time payment, recurring subscription as well as other.
In the event that you make a course free, no payment is needed, however the user must be registered/logged in to access. This is an ideal option if you wish to enroll manually students in your course, and then collect their email addresses. By creating an email list that you have, you are able to distribute newsletters advertising your other course options as soon as they become readily available.
Focus Mode keeps learners engaged
If you turn on Focus Mode, your main footer and navigation elements are taken off the page. Course navigation is always visible in a sidebar tray, and course progress is displayed at the top of the screen. Control movement through the course by using Next/Previous, Mark Complete or Back to the course. You are able to still log into your account from the upper-right corner of the screen.
Focus Mode is an exciting feature that will keep your students focused on the course, and not other tabs on their web browsers. In conjunction with the gaming of a progress bar, there should be a greater engagement and completion rates with Focus mode enabled.
