Searchie Inspo - Mary Harris
Mary Harris met with me a few months ago about creating a stellar course for scientists eager to conquer the realm of grant proposal writing.
She was frustrated with the nebulous world of course setup, your occasional "error 404: tech-savvy not found" moments, and the time crunch that accompanied her stellar full-time “real-job” commitments.
I told her, no need to call in the Big Bang team, Mary. My passion lies in designing and building a portal that will illuminate the way to grant writing greatness!
Mary mentioned feeling like a particle lost in a quantum maze when it came to setting up the course. My expertise as an instructional designer guided her through the celestial journey. I'd traversed numerous galaxies of diverse subjects, turning complex knowledge into supernova-worthy learning experiences.
As with most business owners I meet with, she was yearning to focus on the wonders that beckon you, rather than grappling with the technicalities. I donned my cosmic cape and vanquished the technical foes. From navigating the galaxies of Searchie to designing an interface that glows with intergalactic charm, I handled the technical cosmic dust so she could focus on channeling her brilliance into teaching people to grant proposal writing.
By joining forces, we birthed a course that propels scientists to cosmic heights in grant proposal writing. As she illuminates the scientific world, I weaved the cosmic threads that connect knowledge and success. Together, we created a course that enlightens, empowers, and opens cosmic doors.
Here’s how we merged scientific prowess and creativity to unveil a course that makes science sing:
Stellar Needs Assessment:
I embarked on an astronomical exploration of her target audience, their stellar skills, and their specific needs in the realm of grant proposal writing.
Cosmic Course Design and Development:
Based on our assessment, I conjured a course outline and developed engaging materials that made a place for Mary’s knowledge supernova bright. Mary focused on creating videos that sparkle like shooting stars, interactive questions to unlock the secrets of the universe, and exercises that launch them into grant proposal greatness.
Warp-Speed Technical Implementation:
In less than a day, we set up a custom course interface in Searchie, designed to be as user-friendly as a stardust-filled breeze. Mary wanted integrations such as Calendly for people to book one-on-one consultations, VideoAsk to collect and disperse course participant success stories, the Stripe integration so she could accept payments. We Zapped all her new members into another portal, ConvertKit so she could converse freely with her participants there.
Stellar Quality Assurance and Evaluation:
Once the cosmic course took it’s final shape, we embarked on our final voyage. I conducted meticulous quality assurance checks to ensure our journey was smooth.
The culmination of this cosmic collaboration is a course that bridges the gap between scientific brilliance and persuasive grant proposal writing. Scientists from all corners of the universe can now unlock their potential, secure the funding they need, and propel their groundbreaking research to cosmic heights. So, fellow adventurers, join us on this celestial voyage as we pave the path to Searchie stardom. We can now embrace the fusion of science and creativity, and together, make science sing!
