Ok, first of all: this is not my usual field of writing on this blog. But as the boss is in Luxembourg, poking a bit our friends in academia and I saw and interesting discussion on tutors, teachers and income going on in the blog post on Lingueo, I would like to say one or two things about this.
Note: I served for four years in the army and therefore I will use some military jargon to make my points clear, so please bear with me. 
This week I had the pleasure talking to Christopher Grant, Senior Vice President of Barcelona, Spain, located startup Sclipo.
The company was founded in late 2006 as an educational video sharing platform as you might have guessed from the name already.
Since then it has rapidly grown and can today be seen as a full set teaching and learning platform with an inhouse developed virtual classroom. Sclipo is also a true platform and that is something I really appreciate. I also like the fact that they call themselves social learning revolution.
Let’s see if they can stand up to this statement.

This is the first post of a series of thoughts about online learning platforms. I will focus on problems and chances I see for these businesses.
In this post I’ll be talking about online teachers. What do they want and where are the main issues right now?
