MyiCourse



myIcourse
Our mission is to provide software that helps users create and post their own educational materials, at no cost. We do not believe all of life’s necessary learning is contained within the walls of universities or between the binders of books. We want to democratize knowledge for those who wish to learn. Come help us flatten the world!

People are creating their own public and private MyiCourse universities to benefit their business, ministry, product or people through online education and effective coursework. People are using MyiCourse to teach customers about their products. Others use MyiCourse to teach people about their favorite hobby. Create your own free site today and share your passion with the world.

The sky is the limit and it’s FREE! Now you have the opportunity to share your special skill or knowledge with the world. If your course is for everyone, create your own public university. Does your company or organization have specific training needs for its employees? Is accountability for the course essential? If so, create your own private university. MyiCourse will allow employees, students and even friends, to become knowledgeable in areas they never imagined.

Digital Nativism Digital Delusions and Digital Deprivation By Jamie McKenzie About author Being born into a culture saturated with things digital is not a complete blessing despite the eager claims of digital drum majors and pied pipers. Neither is such immersion an automatic state of grace. Those leading the digital surge are quick to exile older folks to a dust bin of irrelevancy simply because they were born before the iPod. Their point of view is harsh and ill informed. Their stance is unsubstantiated
