Tony’s course TheCoachingApp is app based rather than being available as a website.
In this interview we cover:
- Why Tony believes that “just in time” mobile based learning on phones and tablets can be more effective than desktop or classroom based learning.
- How just-in-time learning via an app speeds up live coaching sessions and makes them more effective.
- How to design course content for a mobile app (you can’t just use the same approach you would for classroom or desktop learning)
- Why video is not always the right answer for your course format.
- How to structure your course to fit in with the three different ways people access content.
- Techniques for increasing engagement with your course.
- How an app can create a useful discussion point to re-engage with ex-clients and contacts.
- The pitfalls of tactical online marketing and bandwagons.
