#88, Resource of the week: Learnable.com (Take an online course. Or make your own.)

Learnable is a service for teaching or taking courses online. Learnable allows anyone to create and deliver online courses.

The Learnable team has created a vibrant environment where students gain practical and usable skills on topics they are passionate about. Learnable teachers deliver training that they truly believe in.

Learnable began as a series of online courses about web development on sitepoint.com, one of the largest online communities of web designers and developers. But we wanted to go further, faster, better! And so Learnable was born.

What does a course look like?

Learnable courses are made up of lessons, like a subject in school was made up of classes. You start at the beginning and build your skills with each lesson.

Like a school class, each lesson might include text, video, exercises, and other resources. Everything’s online—all you need is a web browser. And if you already know some of the material, you can skip it.

The Learnable Q&A system acts like an evolving catalog of discussions around your course. Here, you can ask questions about lessons, boost your understanding of the materials, and avoid that I-don’t-get-it feeling that eventually sees you cutting class to hang out behind the bike sheds, getting caught by that beady-eyed math teacher, and sitting through hours of boring detention … or was that just us?
