Hey Morphoicers!

Welcome to your weekly scroll-worthy roundup from Morphoices—where course creation meets curiosity.

Today’s Spark brings you big moves, smart tools, and unexpected inspiration to help you create courses that connect (without burning out in the process).

Let’s get into it!

What’s Lighting Up the Industry

1. Harvard Launches Its Own LXP (Yes, That Harvard)

What happened: Harvard just dropped a Learning Experience Platform designed to reimagine digital learning across its entire ecosystem.

Why it matters: It’s a bold move toward modular, personalized education—and a strong nudge that your course platform should evolve with your learners.

Your move: Think flexible structure. Even small creators can apply this by using lesson modularity, content choice, or adaptive pathways.

2. Empire State University’s Quiet Online Climb

What happened: Under Lisa Vollendorf’s leadership, the school’s online programs are growing 8–10% annually.

Why it matters: This proves that steady growth wins the race, especially when paired with smart support systems and student-first thinking.

Your move: Invest in learner success—not just lead magnets. Solid onboarding and community building are underrated launch strategies.

3. Streamer University Is a Real Thing (And Yes, MrBeast Might Drop In)

What happened: Twitch phenom Kai Cenat launched a content-creator bootcamp, bringing top creators together for a weekend of “edu-tainment.”

Why it matters: Edutainment is here, and your learners are craving more energy, interaction, and entertainment.

Your move: Try a workshop format, hybrid lesson styles, or behind-the-scenes video content. It’s okay to make education a little bingeable.

4. Free Training Platform for Basque Sports Pros

What happened: A new initiative in Spain launched a fully digital, no-cost training hub for coaches and athletes in the Basque region.

Why it matters: Niche-focused learning platforms are gaining traction—and thriving.

Your move: Don’t be afraid to go deep instead of broad. Serve a micro-community with hyper-relevant content and watch your engagement skyrocket.

5. AI Tools Like HeyGen Are Shaping the Future of Course Creation

What happened: Tools like HeyGen now let you turn a script into a course video—with avatars, voiceovers, and templates—in minutes.

Why it matters: You no longer need a film crew or editing software to build professional video lessons.

Your move: Start small—use AI video tools for FAQs, bonus content, or quick summaries. Bonus: it’s also great for voiceover if you’re not ready to be on camera.
