Once you have a decent understanding of what Skills, Steps, and Courses are, the fun can begin! 

Starting from scratch

First thing's first, you must have some idea of the goals you have for your team. That's why you're here after all!

Your Courses are the ultimate goal that learners want to achieve. When they get perfect on a Course, they've aced each Step and earned the maximum possible rewards!

To start:

  • COME UP WITH your goals

  • NAME each one

  • CREATE a Course for each one

Don't worry if you don't have any Steps yet, you can add them later when they're ready to go.

Deciding how learners will reach goals

So you have your goals/Courses figured out - how will you help your learners reach them? By creating Steps for them to complete!

Much like a stairway, each successful Step will get them closer to their destination. The more they need to take, the longer the journey, so make sure your Step count is a reasonable and attainable amount.

From here:

  • CONSIDER what they will need to learn to achieve each goal (complete the Course)

  • REWORK AND COMBINE those need-to-knows to create overall topics

  • NAME each one 

  • CREATE a Step for each one

Is the Step count for one Course way too high? Consider splitting the goal/Course into smaller sections/Courses to keep it manageable for learners.

Whether you have Skills already made, or have yet to get that started, you can add them to a Step anytime you'd like.

Identifying which Skills will be used

What's 2+2? 4! What Skill was automatically used when solving this? Problem solving!

Much like the above example, whenever a learner plays a Step they will automatically use an assortment of Skills in order to complete it. Some may only harness one, others may have more! 

To figure out what they are:

  • THINK about the Skills they can't avoid using when completing the Step

  • NAME those Skills

  • CREATE those Skills

Ready, set, go!

Once you've done all that, you've got what you need to make an awesome LemonadeLXP experience for your learners.

Whether it's your first time, or you're creating more content, remember to:

  • CONSIDER what you want learners to learn

  • BREAK IT ALL DOWN into parts

  • CREATE your Courses, Steps, and Skills 

  • COMBINE everything as you wish

By following this thought process to figure out your Courses, Steps, and Skills, you'll be well on your way to becoming a content-creating champ!
