What you call your course matters. After all, not only does your course name indicate the subject matter but like any good book, titles entice the user to learn more. As you know, online audiences have short attention spans and often make snap decisions based on a quick first impression. Most folks only stay on a web page for about 15 seconds, so if the name of your course doesn’t grab their attention, they may click elsewhere for content that seems more worth their time.
