LearnSocial adds self paced online learning courses E-learning marketplace LearnSocial has tweaked its business model and is moving from an MOOC-only platform to self paced online courses a la Khan Academy. Instructors can offer two modules of learning to the learners. There is the instructor-led course where they can choose a specific day and time and with a set duration. Learners can take these courses from anywhere and can engage with the instructor by asking questions online, be part of discussion forums, share files, view presentations and much more. The second option is self paced where instructors from across the globe can upload high quality videos of their courses and learners can access these courses at their own pace and time. LearnSocial was started by Way2SMS founder Raju Vanapala in September 2014, claims that anyone with a PC/laptop and a 1Mbps or more internet connection can attend the live sessions. The e-learning platform also allows working professionals to join LearnSocial as instructors and get paid.
