To put a penny or two where my mouth is, try this out.
This is not something I am “good at”, but I have thrown together a course for “Introduction to Welding and Welding Safety” and posted it to the “free-for-instructors-up-to-five-classes-available-at-a-time” Blackboard offering “coursesites.com”.
It’s a bit of a pain in the arse, but you can sign up (or sign up using a google or facebook account), self-enroll, and check out the sort of thing one could do with such an offering. This is by no means intended to showcase all you can do (with this product or any other), but I wanted to hit the highlights of the sort of thing I am thinking about when I suggest “vidoe-fying” intro/safety classes and offering “test-out quizzes” online. On the backend i get fairly extensive reporting info. I am unclear on how this might be leveraged into “certificates”, but at the very least the data could be exported to a database, and checked for “completeness” before offering other, more advanced classes (or enabling RFID, or whatever).
