Eduardo Peirano’s Summary

I am a Chemical Engineer. I was working at a Wheat Flour Mill and I was laid off. I couldn't find employment at another flour mill.

I had internet at home. I learned to create web sites and I soon learned that I could use the internet and a web forum to teach online courses.

At that time I was interested on environmental issues. I created the online course: "Environmental Impact Assessment" I only used resources available online for that course . It was then 1999.

I soon learned that the course needed more online promotion so I created the Online Courses Newsletter to promote my own course and also feature other online courses.

The Newsletter became VERY popular. At one time it had 20,000 subscribers. I was not earning enough money.

Later I learned that promoting ForProfit Online Universities was, at that time, an easy way to earn money. Now it is a very competitive market.

Since 1999, the internet has become more social, helpful and fun for online teaching and learning.

Now I have a blog and I created a community to feature online learning and network with Higher Education Faculty teaching online courses. It gives me the knowledge, background and connections with online teachers.

I setup a group at TeeBeeDee, a social network for adults 40+, to promote online universities for adults but also to teach them how to use internet tools and resources for self learning.
