Earlier this week I had the chance to talk to Gagan Biyani, Co-Founder of udemy.com and he invited me for a tour. The project is an interesting mixture of different tools we already know from other platforms but it also offers some new features that I think are quite useful for online education.

I love Sushi. For me it’s one of the most perfect food creations of mankind. Pure, elegant, tasty. Everything you need.
VocabSushi transfers those features into a vocabulary learning tool. You see, I am already excited about this product and yes, I admit it impressed me right from the start. Like last year, when I discovered [...]
Yesterday I read about a very interesting start up in online education on TechCrunch Europe called Sparkeo. As TC was offering 100 beta invites I grabbed one immediately and signed up for it.
As video streaming is growing and growing on the internet it is great to have a targeted service for educators. So let’s have [...]

Though the title of the post might tell you something different, Learnissimo.com is not new on the market. They started their service around the same time as Myngle and eduFire, so about two years ago.
First it was based on a marketplace model, teachers set their own prices and times. But from the beginning on there [...]
Another virtual classroom enters the ring. Edoboard.com’s tagline is “The tutor’s Online Toolbox”.
“Oh, great. Another virtual classroom. Who needs another one?”, I hear you say. Well, the answer is simple: maths and science teachers. And I think they will love this one.

This is a very popular question I get from people who know that I am a language teacher. Today I took a final decision for myself and I would also like to share my priority list of languages for the next decade with you.
The list is based on facts as well as on assumptions but [...]
On my daily surf through the web I came across this fairly new language learning community called lenguajero.com. What immediately caught my eye is the fact that they “only” offer language exchange between Spanish and English speakers. That’s what I call targeted.
Reading a bit through the blog I learned that the site was developed by [...]
