Have you ever sat through a lesson and wondered, “Why am I even learning this?”
If you’ve ever felt that way, imagine how your students feel when they step into your online course without a clear sense of purpose. The truth is, one of the simplest shifts you can make in your teaching is also one of the most powerful: starting with why.
In this episode of The ART of Online Course Creation, Shannon Boyer shares how a single moment in the classroom changed her teaching forever, and why leading with purpose isn’t just a nice touch, but the difference between students who finish your course and students who check out halfway through.
You’ll hear:
- A personal story about an adult learner whose simple question revealed a hidden gap in course design.
- Why explaining the “why” first transforms attention, retention, and real-world application.
- How to connect each lesson to a bigger outcome so students stay motivated from start to finish.
- Practical strategies to keep purpose alive throughout your teaching, not just at the introduction.
If your students have ever seemed distracted, disengaged, or unmotivated, this episode will give you a fresh lens on how to spark their focus, help them remember what you taught, and, most importantly, move them into action.
🎧 Listen now to discover how starting with “why” can turn your course from information overload into a transformational learning experience.
