This article outlines the quality standards for Instructor Bios, including recommended practices and the essential criteria for passing Therapy Sheets’s Quality Review Process.
What is the Instructor Bio, and why does it matter?
The Instructor Bio serves as a dedicated space for instructors to highlight their expertise, background, and personality. It’s prominently displayed at the bottom of course landing pages on Therapy Sheets’s platform.
Instructors can update their bio in settings in the dashboard in their profile.
Credibility is paramount for potential students when selecting an online course. Therefore, it’s crucial for instructors to accurately showcase their expertise to instill confidence and attract enrollments.
It’s important to ensure that the information presented in the Instructor Bio accurately reflects the instructor’s qualifications and is devoid of promotional content. The bio undergoes scrutiny during the Quality Review Process to ensure alignment with Therapy Sheets’s guidelines.
Minimum Requirements for Passing the Quality Review Process:
– Accuracy: Ensure that all information provided in the bio is truthful and reflects the instructor’s genuine qualifications.
– Verification: While instructors can use pen names or pseudonyms, additional verification may be required if discrepancies arise. The use of images of other individuals is not permitted.
– Qualifications: All qualifications mentioned must pertain to the account owner as an individual or the business they represent.
– Consistency: Inconsistencies across the instructor’s account and courses may necessitate further verification.
– Links: External links are prohibited in the bio. Instead, instructors can utilize the designated “Links” section of their profile for this purpose.
– Contact Information: Refrain from listing personal contact details in the bio.
– Formatting: Avoid excessive capitalization, punctuation, or emojis that may detract from readability.
