Online training resources

Are you an independent consultant? Do you conduct online training?

Actually, I don't mind either way, because I do.

So far I've been using Udemy.com. They make it free and easy to get your training to market and I've had no problem being paid on time by them.

As an independent. I wanted to start looking around for other routes to market.

Udemy have some forums on facebook, but this is for discussing Udemy stuff - I wanted to find other places where people discuss online training.

I asked around and was told about a few LinkedIn groups:

• Camtasia Users Group
• eLearning community group
• eLearning edge
• eLearning Global Network
• Instructional Designers
• Instructional Design and E-Learning professional's group
• LMS and e-learning group
• Rapid e-learning group
• The elearning guild

I haven't been subscribed to these long enough to know how much value they will add, but they look pretty good so far.

Some good resources came through as a result of signing up for these

• http://elearningfeeds.com/
• http://www.elearninglearning.com

Hope this helps, and if you know any good additional resources, please leave a comment below.

It seems as though I need to search for things like "LMS" "MOOC" and "e-learning" and not "online training" like I had been. Half the battle is often learning the specific language of the domain when you are a beginner.
