eBrainz has the answers

eBrainz offers a low cost option of getting online by providing the free hosting for courses. Not only that, eBrainz’s Course Creator Course will assist you in getting your course material into a form that will keep participant’s interested and involved. This course will also lead you to cheap or free resources that you can adapt to make your course informative AND fun.

This course is suitable for:

Experts and beginners
Teachers moving their material into online courses
Tutors wanting to supplement their lectures with online material
Hobbyists who want to spread their knowledge
ANYONE wanting to add zing to their courses online or face-to-face

Whether you want to create an online course using Moodle or another LMS or simply in a web page, the principles of course design are the same. This course will show you how. You’ll receive instructions on good learning principles and instructional design. You’ll be shown samples of hardcopy and online resources with clear instructions and principles for creating them.

But maybe you’re looking to create a course with a difference that you can deliver face-to-face? The BONUS is that as you create your online course you will be able to build and market resources to use in other ways – like in creating a supplementary book, or for YouTube videos and blog pages, or as a face-to-face course with a difference.

For this LOW, LOW, LOW introductory price of $169 you will learn:

How to construct a course that is easy to learn from
How to track the course development so nothing is missed out
Where to find resources that are free, or cost next to nothing
What we recommend as low cost, reliable software for developing resources
Tips on how to create resources in Moodle (that will be similar in other LMS systems)

Not only that you will be guided by a tutor who has been creating online resources for web and CD ROM for 15 years.
