Of course, when organizations adopt e-learning solutions through a pay-per-use LMS like Coggno, the costs of training itself are significantly less than those of commercial LMS licenses and traditional training methods. For this reason and others, more organizations are finding online training solutions to meet compliance and management training needs.
You may be thinking that a pay-per-use LMS sounds like a good idea, but you also wonder, how exactly does it work?
As a first time courseware developer, you may be unfamiliar with the process of course creation, payment, and other nitty gritty. This blog entry will be devoted to those processes.
First you’ll need to become a Coggno member to create your training, compliance, or other content for placement on the Coggno Marketplace. It’s easy; simply register as a Course Creator (Author) by logging onto the https://www.coggno.com/account/signup, review the terms of use, and voilà! You’re ready to begin migrating or creating content on Coggno.com.
As a content creator, how does payment work? You’ll be paid every time an organization or individual purchases a license to use the learning content you’ve authored. You’ll be paid for each license, or seat, that is purchased.
But how much? That depends on you. You can charge whatever you like, whatever price you deem appropriate. Prices range from $10 to $450 per license, according to what you decide to charge, and the standard in your field. Of course, it’s important to keep in mind your audience. Is the content geared toward an audience of individuals or corporations, which are inclined to purchase multiple licenses?
Another option is to consider creating course content of varying lengths, and charging accordingly. Learners may be interested in trying out a course at a lower price point before investing in a more substantial one at a higher price point. Using the volume discounting options available in the pricing interface, you are also able to syndicate any of your content, sharing a percentage of your revenue with the web publishers on whose website your content is advertised.
What’s Coggno’s Publishing Policy? Content on Coggno is meant to be substantive conveyance of learning, training, and assessment of knowledge and information.
