The Teachable Full-time Creator Masterclass 2019
- By Vasudev Ram - Online Python training / SQL training / Linux training
Hi, readers,
As I said a few days ago in this post:
Great Teachable offer coming in a few days ...
, here are the details for the Teachable Full-time Creator Masterclass 2019.
It will go on from 14th to 21st January 2019.
What’s the Full-time Creator masterclass?
The Full-time Creator is a free, 4-part masterclass that Teachable is hosting over the course of a week - consisting of 4 jam-packed video trainings that will be dripped out over 7 days. The ideal audience for this event includes creators (think: bloggers, coaches, experts, authors, consultants, influencers, hobbyists, offline trainers, etc.) who want to create a profitable online course, using the knowledge they already have. After the week-long masterclass, they'll be offered an opportunity to buy Teachable's service — and when they do they'll receive $4K+ in valuable bonuses for free.
After the week-long masterclass, you will be invited to sign up for Teachable.
Sign up for the Teachable Full-time Creator Masterclass 2019 here.
P.S. Although I've already been a trainer (both offline and online) for some years now, I plan to attend this Masterclass myself. I'm sure I'll pick up some useful tips that will help in my training work.
See you there.

Learning Linux? Hit the ground running with my vi quickstart tutorial. I wrote it at the request of two Windows system administrator friends who were given additional charge of some Unix systems. They later told me that it helped them to quickly start using vi to edit text files on Unix. Of course, vi/vim is one of the most ubiquitous text editors around, and works on most other common operating systems and on some uncommon ones too, so the knowledge of how to use it will carry over to those systems too.

Google's new online Course Builder tool, open source
By Vasudev Ram
Google has launched a new product called Course Builder to let anyone create an online course.
Note from the site: "To use Course Builder, you should have some technical skills at the level of a web master. In particular, you should have some familiarity with HTML and JavaScript."
Edudemic article about Course Builder. It has a video of Dr. Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google, explaining why they built it.
Excerpt from a message from Dr. Norvig, mentioned in the article:
[ In July, Research at Google ran a large open online course, Power Searching with Google, taught by search expert, Dan Russell. The course was successful, with 155,000 registered students. Through this experiment, we learned that Google technologies can help bring education to a global audience. So we packaged up the technology we used to build Power Searching and are providing it as an open source project called Course Builder. We want to make this technology available so that others can experiment with online learning.
...
We are excited that Stanford University, Indiana University, UC San Diego, Saylor.org, LearningByGivingFoundation.org, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), and a group of universities in Spain led by Universia, CRUE, and Banco Santander-Universidades are considering how this experimental technology might work for some of their online courses. ]

Saylor Foundation's $20,000 Open Textbook Challenge
By Vasudev Ram
I had blogged recently about the Saylor Foundation, which offers free online courses in Computer Science and other topics. One advantage of their courses seems to be that you can take them at your own pace, as contrasted to some of the other free online courses which you have to finish in a fixed amount of time - which is the duration of the course.
Today I read about the Saylor Foundation's $20,000 Open Textbook Challenge. This seems like something that may of interest to people who have written textbooks on relevant topics that the Foundation conducts courses on.
Excerpt from the Saylor Foundation's Open Textbook Challenge page:
[ The Saylor Foundation is offering $20,000 for accepted textbooks aligning with eligible Saylor Foundation courses, if the copyright holder will re-license them as CC-BY!
Did you know that, according to the College Board, the average college student at a four-year public school spends over $1,000 for textbooks each year? This means that in just America alone, the total cost for course materials is in the billions of dollars. These high costs are greatly impacting students’ access to education, with 7 of 10 students reporting they’ve not purchased a textbook simply because of its cost.
We need to provide a cost-free alternative, and we need your help doing so. If you know about a textbook that might be eligible for inclusion in one of The Saylor Foundation’s free, online college-level courses, let us know! We are offering potentially millions of dollars in bounties and awards for referrals and submissions that meet our criteria. ]
