Online Education
Current model does not provide
certification that lends itself
to increased employment
opportunity nor the ability to
readily change career paths.
Professional Network
Existing platforms, although
powerful tools, are centered
around traditional employment,
thus not delivering whats
needed for the success of
independent workers.
Freelance Marketplace
Current job markets do not
encourage community and
collaboration; they merely
isolate the pool of global
workers and force a bidding war
race-to-the-bottom.

10. It is free and easy to teach classes
with our simple and intuitive course
management platform. Anyone can
create courses, and teachers get
paid with each enrollment.
Great instructors and mentors. Perfect pacing.
There are no boring lectures or confusing
explanations. Step-by-step instruction of the truly
vital elements to VR. The career and profile
development sections are very helpful, too. IÕll
definitely sign up for another class with this
instructor.
