Day one at a glance

Programme

I rewrote my opening lesson on the train home and the drop-off after week one halved. Best free day I have spent.

JBJonas BergTeaches bread baking, came in 2018

The workshop was twelve of us and one patient speaker. I left with a filmed lesson, not just notes.

SKSara KimTeaches spreadsheets, came in 2018

Nobody tried to sell me anything. People simply showed what worked for them and what did not.

DNDele NwosuTeaches guitar, came in 2017

Good to know

Is it really free?

Yes. Talks and recordings cost nothing. A workshop place is free too, but there are only 100 in each.

What if I miss a talk?

Every talk is on your ticket page by eight the same evening, with captions.

Do I need a chronoskin account?

No. An email address is enough to register and to watch.

See you on 12 June

Register once and both days, all three tracks and every recording are yours.

The first five minutes

Wednesday 12 June, 09:30, main stage. Forty minutes with questions.

Add to my schedule

Why most learners leave before lesson two

Half of the people who start an online course never open its second lesson. Ingrid has watched nine thousand of them go, and found that the reason is almost always in the first five minutes.

What the talk covers

The opening of a course has one job: to let the learner make something small before the doubt arrives. Ingrid shows three openings of her own, two that failed and one that kept eight in ten learners.

You will leave with

  • A five-minute opening you can film this week
  • The one sentence to cut from every welcome
  • A way to measure it: look for lesson_2_opened in your reports

Who it is for

Anyone with a course that is planned or already running. No equipment and no experience of filming needed.
