Ask HN: Need for a one-stop search engine for all online learning options?

3 pointsby sbhatlaabout 12 years ago
Hi all,<p>In a recent MOOC at Stanford (Designing A New Learning Environment), I observed high enthusiasm for leveraging technology to deliver learning innovation. Within a decade, we will have an exponentially larger set of learning choices available. Another trend: learning is becoming lifelong, thereby increasing total market demand. So how will learners of the future choose? Clearly, using Google and jumping from site to site isn't going to cut it. Trying a class online may be free, but your time is worth money.<p>So what is the best way to search for online courses? I’ve tried the existing sites, but they cover a very limited sample of the online education universe.<p>I’m evaluating whether to build a comprehensive discovery engine. Do you see a need for one? See a demo here: http://get.prudentia.me<p>I’m also curious what might be the profile of early adopters of online courses. Have you thought about this as you build your own offerings?<p>Thanks, Sunil<p>I blog about startup best practices at: http://blog.prudentia.me
