Free Online Courses from Business Week
Business Week Online is offering free online courses. They have two courses currently online: How to Give a Great Presentation and Online Marketing Tips. I just signed up for the Online Marketing Tips course. The courses start and end on specific dates, with the online content free. To get a PDF course outline, you have to agree to let the course sponsor share your contact information. I’m deferring for now. The only other potential cost are “recommended materials” for each course. This are only recommended. More information is available on the sites FAQ’s. Lessons are presented online, with a message board and email reminders.
I’m going to give it a try and see how it works. The price is definitely right. Hopefully the content is also worth my time investment. Either way, this is an interesting example of how Extension programs could offer online educational programming.
