* a schedule to do the learning (structure);
* a modest work assignment each week, and a place to post completed assignments (accountability); and
* a rich network of fellow students to share with and learn from (community).
Applying these elements in self-paced classes (i.e., written, audio and video content available to the student on their own schedule) is quite different, and perhaps more challenging, than in a live, scheduled environment. A further challenge is that often, you've designed these courses to be hands-off for you -- truly passive. On the other hand, your self-paced classes could be a funnel to more intensive, live classes or coaching/consulting -- in which case a dose of you, live, could be the tipping point.
