Q: I am checking with you to see if LERN has any "best practices" or recommended guidelines to use in deciding on CE course names.
We are in the midst of a much needed assessment of our course titles to ensure the course names make sense to prospective students and students can find them in a simple search.
Any information LERN can provide would be much appreciated.
A: Thank you for your question! There are no specific naming conventions, but there are some considerations to keep in mind:
1. The course title should identify clearly what the course is about
2. The course title should be interesting enough to engage the reader
I have attached a report we created called "Ten Tips for Writing Terrific Titles." It was originally developed for enrichment courses, but I think the concepts will be useful to you. If you need more help with this, please let me know. I will be happy to work with you.
