janine warner, disruptive design: trends in online education at wsa-mobile global congress
TRANSCRIPT
In its first three years, coursera reached 10 million students around the world and raised $85 million in venture capital. In 2013, they started selling verified certificates for $49. They sold nearly $5 million worth in the first year.
Lynda.com was started
by Lynda Weinman with
$20,000 of her own
money.
10 years later, the
company reached $10
Million in revenue and
she accepted
investment for the first
time.
Lynda used some of the investment to acquire her largest International competitor, Video2Brain, and expand to provide training in multiple languages.
But if you don’t know what you need to learn, it’s easy to get lost at Lynda.com where there are 25,000+ web design videos>
CreativeLive offers courses
in front of a live studio
audience with live
streaming video and chat
rooms on the web.
They have a “freemium”
model. While courses are
being broadcast, they are
free. If you want to watch
them on demand, you have
to purchase them.
Instructors
(like me),
teach multi-
day seminars
from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. every
day and
answer
questions
from the
studio
audience as
well as the
online
audience.
Code Academy offers interactive lessons in HTML and programming. You can get immediate feedback as you type.
2014 European Youth Award Winner
Mosiak also provides realtime interactivity as students learn programming
Emotional Presence
In face-to-face (F2F) classes, teachers can detect emotional cues
like smiling, making eye contact, and demonstrating interest.
I prepared 4 videos from a recent speech that were 5 minutes each. While the audience watched each video, I took questions via Twitter.
It was a little complicated to
manage and required multiple
computers and iPads, but it
was far more engaging than
most webinars.
Last year, I created an online course (a MOOC) with the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas with the University of Texas. We attracted more than 5,000 students, and now I’m working on an
advanced course. Both courses are in Spanish.
In addition to pre-recorded videos and other course materials for the MOOC, we’re also doing weekly Google Hangouts
I’ve recently become
interested in the “virtual
humans” created at USC.
I’m exploring how to use
them in online training.
The most popular video recording and editing tools for online training are: Screenflow (for Mac) and Camtasia (for Windows)
Join the online learning revolution!
