Hello folks! How do I write catchy titles without sounding monotonous? I mostly use “Overview,” “Introduction” etc. What techniques do you guys use to craft catchy titles and course closure lines? The same is the issue with closure lines. Can’t think beyond “Congratulations on completing the course”, or “End of the course.” Need captivating ideas, my friends! 😊. No ChatGPT pl. as there is a pattern for sure.
Hi all! I’ve found that using humor or puns can be a fun way to make titles and closure lines more engaging. May not be applicable to many corporate elearning though. For example, if the course is about public speaking, a catchy title might be “Speak Up and Stand Out,” and the closure line could be “You’re now ready to take the mic like a pro!”
Hello! When I need to write catchy titles, I like to brainstorm a bunch of ideas and then narrow it down to the one that is most memorable or attention-grabbing. You could try using a thesaurus or brainstorming tool to help come up with different options. For closure lines, you could try something like “You’ve unlocked a new skillset, congratulations!” or “Now go out and apply what you’ve learned!”
Hi Ishan. When it comes to writing catchy titles, I like to think about the benefits or outcomes of the course and use that as inspiration. For example, if the course is about time management, a catchy title might be “Master Your Schedule and Boost Productivity.” For closure lines, I often like to end on a positive note, such as “Congratulations, you’re now a time management pro!”
I always try to use words and phrases that use everyday language. In other words, talk to your students like a person rather than an instructor. For example, call a slide What you will learn instead of learning objectives. I’m also a big fan of using a what’s in it for me (WIIFM) slide. But be careful, a WIIFM slide should not cover why this course is important to the organization but truly why this course will be beneficial to the learner. For example, in an airport safety course, I talked about the students’ families and being able to go home to them at the end of the day. I also talked about other passengers who might be their neighbours, extended family, and other friends. I think this is more impactful for employees than just talking about meeting corporate goals.
Now that’s an interesting one! In the age of ChatGPT may not be as relevant. Though the human touch is always welcome!
I’ve found that using action-oriented verbs in titles can make them more engaging. For example, instead of “Overview,” you could use “Get Started with,” or “Discover the Secrets of.” For closure lines, you could try using a call-to-action, such as “Apply What You’ve Learned,” or “Take the Next Step.” See if this works for you!
Maybe a weird tip, but does it always have to be ‘text’? Images, animations, audio, video can be a much better alternative and are appreciated by the majority of learners over text.
