This Ecommerce course is designed to develop an accurate self-assessment of individuals' current skills and to develop a defined pathway for continued skill development. The goal is also to develop realistic personal strategies based on the best knowledge and resources available. This course focuses on becoming aware of opportunities. It is designed to be an enjoyable, fun, social, learning experience.

Who Is It For?

-          Existing businesses wanting to learn to use the web to market their products and services,
      monitor  their competition, and stay current with web Ecommerce innovations

-          Everyone interested in helping build learning communities to create social and economic value

 

How Does It Work?

All you need is a computer, basic point and click skills, a means of getting on the Internet and your own email account, (free at http://hotmail.com/ or http://yahoo.com/.) This course is presented in a mastery learning format, which means you master the skills as you "learn by doing." 

A printed guide, "A Beginner’s Guide to Profiting from the Internet (Rural Ecommerce and Telework Strategies)" is available.

Basic computer literacy skills are strongly recommended. However, if your computer skills are weak, you may need extra patience with yourself and your computer. Most tasks using computers and the Internet are easy. Patience and perseverance are the keys to success during the initial confidence-building process, particularly if you're still nervous around computers. When you have questions, you're encouraged to email your instructor.

The most important thing you'll need to bring to this class is a good attitude and a willingness to explore new possibilities. This is an online learning adventure. Success is guaranteed; your instructor won't give up if you don't! Consider partnering with someone locally to share the experience. If you're ready to go, then begin at your convenience.  (Exploring the new capabilities presented in the course lessons will build your confidence, and you will soon begin to discover how to learn anything you want, at anytime, from anywhere.)
