here are a few items for you to consider, we're trying to put together a NEAR Certified Analyst course

my preference in course development is to create a simple draft outline, then collect a few resources and use this to design a facilitated experience -- like a workshop or something where i test out the depth and breadth of material on an audience. that's the fastest way that i learn about courses.

i usually take a few days to a week to design a new course that i can deliver as a 2-4 hour workshop. once i've tested it once or twice, it's very clear to me what is right and what is wrong

i use that feedback from students, their questions, confusion and complaints to revise the course for version 2 which may be another workshop, a series of self-paced videos, a week long learning experience, or whatever makes the most sense

check out these resources as potential input to a NEAR Certified Analyst course for which we already have 600 students preregistered and waiting to learn, most of them non-programmers who are very excited about web3 and NEAR 🙂
