THE thinking method platform

COMING SOON….

Welcome to the Thinking Method Platform, where independent (non-Language Transfer) teachers who want to learn to write Thinking Method style courses will be able to upload their material for my feedback, contributions and guidance.

Through this live public experience, falling somewhere between training and co-creation, the courses shared here should resemble forever more the original Thinking Method courses and hopefully, even surpass them.

Uploaders will also be able to offer themselves for private classes (paid or free) through the platform. This makes it more plausible that teachers can make Thinking Method course writing their main full-time focus! LT will take no cut from the private classes.

My interaction with new course writers will now be public by default. Supporters and learners alike will be able to see the (otherwise behind-the-scenes) work I do on other people’s material, and all that work is logged so that it can be used by new course writers for inspiration and self-training. When teachers upload improved versions of their lessons, all of this remains catalogued, and each course writer can learn from the evolution of others’ material. Nothing is wasted, and we’re no longer reliant on just one teacher. If someone disappears, it’s no problem - everything remains on the platform, publicly available for anyone to use and any new writer can continue creating from the next track.

The platform will allow the new writer to engage straight away with learners, and this should be a great motivation in their course-creating journey, helping them to stick with it! Seeing lessons develop live will surely also motivate many otherwise unsuspecting folk to give course writing a shot! It’s quite possible that some of the best courses come from people that never thought about writing courses!

The platform solves many important problems that were present with the team building model I was trying to implement, and also helps the project respond to all that insatiable desire for new material that it is impossible for just one person, or even a small team, to satisfy. This means that I am no longer looking to build an LT team, and the competition described in the Guidebook is now a submission to join the platform. The platform will hopefully launch soon with brand new material, and so if any budding course writer would like their material on the platform at launch, now is the time to get busy!

Read the Thinking Method Guidebook before and/or whilst writing your course, and then get in touch about making your submission to join the platform!
