What Would Be Your Ideal Online Writing Course?

One of my primary goals this year is to remake the Writer's Digest online workshop program into something valuable and remarkable for writers—whether it's to help you better your writing or speed your path to publication. The webinars are one way we're trying something new, and we have even more ideas for dynamic and interactive online education.Whether you've taken an online writing course or not, I'd love to know your thoughts about what your ideal online course looks like.
