Tip 1:
Have a course curriculum (or at least a skeleton layout). This draft will help you to outline the type of learning experience that you want to provide to your students. It is an overview of the lessons you want to include, the activities and interactions to include, and the assessment tasks to provide.

This outline helps you to identify what you will help your students to achieve and how you will support them.

Tip 2:
Identify the minimum requirements that you need from a platform to help support your students and deliver the lessons outlined in your course curriculum.

Categories to consider in your brainstorm for your MVP:
- Downloadable Resources
- Types of Lessons
- Types of Activities and Interactions
- Types of Assessments
- Budget
- What technology does the student need access to? (e.g. mobile app)
- Integrations
- What do you want as a course creator (analytics, statistics, drip content)
- Learning Journey (e.g. reminders, gamification, progress, mobile access, all in one app)

Tip 3:
Start online research with specific course requirements.

Now you are ready to turn your generic question of "what online course platform should I use" to "My students need XYZ and I need ABC, what online course platform do you recommend"
