Daugavpils University (Latvia), in cooperation with Tartu Business Advisory Services (Estonia), is making the learning resources developed through The Women’s Digital Course Creation Lab (WoDiLab) project publicly available. The English-language video lessons and accompanying worksheets provide an opportunity to develop practical skills in online course creation, digital entrepreneurship, and transforming personal knowledge and professional expertise into digital learning products.

WoDiLab is co-funded by the European Union under the Interreg Central Baltic Programme 2021–2027, contributing to the programme objective of improving employment opportunities in the labour market.

Originally designed for women aged 40 and over, up to retirement age, in Latgale (Latvia) and Tartu and South Estonia, the project aims to strengthen entrepreneurial skills, support economic independence, and create new opportunities for self-employment. Its 16-week training programme guided participants through the process of developing an online course, from identifying a viable idea to creating, marketing, and selling their digital learning products.

By making the training resources publicly accessible, the project partners aim to extend their benefits beyond the original participants and support the long-term use of the knowledge and methods developed through WoDiLab.

Six Modules – From Concept to Course Growth

The WoDiLab training programme consists of six modules:

1. From Concept to Course – identifying a course idea, defining the target audience, and developing a course concept.
2. Designing for Engagement – creating a visual identity, exploring design principles, and selecting suitable digital platforms.
3. Creating Your Minimum Viable Course (MVC) – structuring a course, developing an initial offer, setting prices, and planning delivery.
4. Tools of the Trade – developing sales skills, engaging potential customers, and using email marketing.
5. The Legal Situation – exploring legal and business considerations related to digital learning products.
6. From Visibility to Growth – developing marketing strategies, using digital advertising, organising webinars, and exploring partnership opportunities.
