Create a Track and Help Others!

Teach others the steps you took to get where you are today.


Create a Track

"Tracks are self-guided curriculums curated by experts that outline the best way to learn a topic."



I want to help! How can I create a good track?



Empathize

Stand in the learner's shoe. Think of the questions you had when you were starting off and the steps you took to get to where you are today.

Curate, Not Create

You are referencing or aggregating resources that can help someone learn everything they need to know about your subject, not creating your own content.

Provide Reliable Sources

Only refer to resources that you have used personally and know for sure are high quality. Don’t just link to the first search result that shows up on Google.


Consider Order

Put the resources in progressive order. Tracks aren’t merely a collection of the best resources. Walk them through a step-by-step process

Be Resourceful

Don’t rely on a single source. Direct your students to diverse sources.

Be Opinionated

Point to specific content. Rather than saying “read a book,” recommend which book!


Justify

Explain what makes your recommended content better than the rest. Include tips on how to use it and what the user should learn from that resource.

Narrow It Down

Keep the scope of the track in between 1~3 months. The track should cover broad but reachable steps.

Other Tips

A Track should have 8~12 missions, or steps. Include the resource name in the title of each mission.
