Types of courses (Pro, Pro Plus, Premium)
Invested Pro Course Offerings
Below are the different types of courses that you may create on Invested Pro. There are three main plan levels, and therefore each course must fall into one of these three plan levels. Instructors may create courses in any or all of these plan levels. Please remember that the quality of the course content, along with the structure and presentation of the materials, are very important to creating a successful course. Members come to Invested Pro to learn as much as they can about the financial markets and cryptocurrency markets. As an instructor on the Invested Pro platform, the objective is to help facilitate this learning in the most efficient manner. Here is a general overview of the types of courses to consider before starting:
- Courses can be academic, theoretical, or practical
- Depending on the course topic, it may be helpful to add some practical applications to a theoretical course
- Practical courses should discuss specific market strategies and help members build technical skills to gain an understanding of how the markets function
- From time to time, host different challenges and workshops (or a series of workshops) to improve collaboration on your courses
- Structuring your courses will vary depending on the type of course it is. However, it is important to challenge the members and you may use quizzes and assignments to do that.
- If teaching how to develop or implement algorithmic models and applying quantitative analysis, include a general framework of how your models are structured and outline the most important skillsets needed to view your courses.
There are many different types of courses that can be offered for these different plan levels. Below is an overview of each plan and the types of courses associated with each plan.
