Create, carefully study the content of the distance course. It is important to provide a good visual presentation of the material. Set goals, form modules (blocks) of material supply, problem tasks (questions), draw conclusions from each module. Bring theory to practice. Compose the text so that it was presented concisely, it is clear, its structure was logical, the location was adequate to visual perception.

Consider what the organization of the joint activities of the teacher and students will be. This question is most important, since the concepts of e-learning and distance learning include, first of all, the joint activities of a teacher and a student, albeit remotely from each other. This activity is aimed at mastering new information, i.e. the content of the training, and its types can be different: webinars, comments on posts or events, personal messages, etc. In addition, distance learning is focused on adult learning, and this specificity must be taken into account.

Pay attention to the system through which training will be carried out. It can be compared with a virtual classroom, in which there are conditions for loading a course, interacting interactively with students, and managing their learning. Here you can use free or rented distance learning systems, and customize them to your needs, or purchase paid systems that will be customized by the developer for you. A learning environment is created in the system using content filling: you upload your presentations, documents, and also create forums, blogs, tests, links to additional sources.

Organize the promotion of your distance course, or advertising. Elena Tikhomirova, HRM.ru portal expert, recommends creating an advertising mailing list for your contacts, as well as a thematic blog on the topic of your course. Realizing the idea of promoting through benefits, the blog is informative (useful) for readers, and builds their trust in you and your course.

Pick up groups. If you organize your personal distance learning, then the optimal number of people in the first group is no more than 10. If you have a team of trained specialists, then proceed from the level of the training program and your potential (personnel, technical, organizational, etc.).
