Online aikido introduction course
Hi all,
I wanted to create an online course which gives a basic introduction to Aikido (and other martial arts as well).

What questions should advanced students be able to answer? What I could think of so far is:

I'm curious: why have you decided to test students? Why not just let them take the course and learn from it?
I ask because testing introduces a set of issues that can thwart your original purpose (instruction), if not carefully managed. Speaking as someone who's developed many online tests, it seems to me that you want to be careful not to let the tail wag the dog, as so often happens with testing. The way these things often go is:

A few things come to mind:
Who is your target audience? Why would they come to your site instead of going to a dojo? If they are not ready to sign up at a real life dojo, why would they come to your site instead of making use of the myriad of online resources, videos, etc already out there? How will you decide WHOSE names for attacks and arts you will use. How will you explain this to the student who may pay and test and then be stunned upon joining a dojo in a style that uses totally different nomenclature. |

I also failed to get past registration. I fill in al the required fields, the (quite hard) captchas, check to accept user agreement, submit, but nothing happens (well, I get new captchas, but no error message or email to complete my registration).

But registration pages usually respond with some kind of confirmation when you submit your registration. For example, stating that it sent an email to your email address, containing a link to complete the registration. But this registration page gives no response when you submit your registration (besides generating new captchas). |

Advanced students, by definition, already have a relationship with a teacher. What is the purpose of this course? Katherine |
