Earn money by sharing your course study notes!​

Have you successfully completed a MOOC? Did you make course study notes? Can your experience guide others to reach their goals?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then this may be your chance to earn money simply by sharing your own study resources.

MoocLab will be launching a marketplace for Premium Study Resources made up of crowd-sourced study notes, study guides, practice tests and more made available for purchase by students who have successfully completed a particular MOOC or online course.

We are looking for people to start adding their study resources to the site before the service launches for general availability.

Examples of the types of resources we are looking for are:​

• Your own study notes from a course or topic
• A study guide for a particular course based on your own experience studying the course
• Practice tests with sample answers
• Assignment help - recommendations and advice relating to a particular course assignment that you have done
• Essays - structure and content of any course related essays you have written (it is inadvisable to share complete essays as these could be plagiarized. Only share key points, for example)

You will earn money every time someone buys your resource!

If you would like to get early access and contribute your resources for sale on MoocLab's marketplace, please send a request via our contact form.

We look forward to seeing some great resources to help others succeed in their online learning.​

The Power of MOOCs​

I recently had the honour of speaking at the EdTechXEurope summit which was held in London on June 16th, 2016. I was part of a panel of 4 experts invited to talk about "Trends to Watch in 2016", exploring trends that are shaping the future of education. Naturally, my focus was MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) with a presentation entitled "The Power of MOOCs".

These slides give a snapshot of my talk:
