They provide this information in the form of helpful articles, webinars, audiobooks, and classes created by , of course.
Let's look into the ways that Bitesize Bio utilizes their expertise to make useful knowledge and training information accessible, understandable, and actionable for the scientists in their network.
The Home Page
Right away on Bitesize Bio's homepage the courses are advertised on the top of their page. The banner entices the user to enroll by revealing the benefits of the course. With a promise to improve in a specific skill that is important to a lot of scientists and academics, it's hard to not click the enroll button!
The banners that follow their courses contain numerous blog posts, podcast episodes as well as other resources that are available to all who are looking for their offerings. The numerous resources available displayed on their home page entices visitors to discover more about their course offerings - they show the site as a reputable source of information.
In Action
Course access settings allow you to define a set of criteria for the way a student gains and retains access to the course. The course can be set as open and free without registration, with a single-time payment, subscriptions that renew, and so on.
If you set a course as absolutely free, there is no cost required, but a user must be registered/logged in to access. The Free access mode is the best option when you wish to enroll manually students in your course and capture their emails. By creating an email list, you can send out newsletters advertising your other course services in the moment they become available.
Focus Mode keeps learners engaged
If you turn on Focus Mode, your main navigational and footer elements will be taken off the page. Course navigation is always visible on a sidebar tray along with course progress on the upper left-hand side of your screen. You can control the flow of the course with Next/Previous, Mark Complete, or Return to Course. It is also possible to access your account by clicking on the top right corner.
Focus Mode is an appealing feature that will keep your students interested in their coursework and not other tabs on their computer. When combined with the game-like nature of a progress bar, there should be a greater participation and higher completion rates when you have Focus mode on.
