Open Your Own School

ForteMall.com is like a mix between some on line university, eBay, and MySpace. Whatever it is, it seems like a good idea so far.

ForteMall.com is a website that allows users to sell their own knowledge by hosting classes within a social networking platform in the form of a virtual classroom.

Users who sign up to become virtual teachers can determine everything about their course from cost, content, and length. This sort of social networking meets higher learning platform is great for people who want the benefit of learning a new skill but who don't want or need the hassles and time commitments of a brick and mortar school.

ForteMall.com is not an online college or university. ForteMall.com is a place where knowledge seeking adults can brush up on a foreign language, learn how to cook Italian food, prepare for various licensing and certification exams, and expose themselves to an area of interest that normally would have been out of grasp.

Anybody with knowledge to share can sign up to become a teacher on ForteMall.com. Instructors are not required to be credentialed, licensed, or even experienced in their field. What then, you ask, determines the credibility of an instructor? Instructor credibility is determined by a student voting system. Instructors can watch as reputation ratings rise and fall. Instructors with a higher reputation score than others are more likely to bring in more students. If an instructor appears lost and is ineffective as a communicator he or she may experience lower reputation ratings than instructors with actual real world knowledge and a desire to help their students succeed.

With the way that or society is progressing it won't be long before ForteMall.com is a household name in the online learning industry. ForteMall.com allows average Joes with the most esoteric of specializations to become experts in their craft and teach what they know to any other person who desires such knowledge. There is no charge to be a member of ForteMall.com and start teaching courses but instructors are able to set their own prices. There are courses in the ForteMall.com system that are listed as free courses and those that cost nearly a thousand bucks to take (although most of the more expensive classes appear to be the most specialized and technological).

Businesses with established human resources or training departments can use systems like ForteMall.com to conduct employee training and seminars. Tutors who are looking to step into the world of cyber education can use systems like ForteMall.com to increase their client lists. Those with years of experience in a certain industry who want to establish themselves as experts can market their classes on other websites and social networks. Lastly, those who are just plain old passionate about what they do and know are now able to share their passion with the world. The nice thing about hosting a class on ForteMall.com is that the instructor who sets a price on his or her course can be pretty much guaranteed that the students in the course really want to be there.

ForteMall.com offers various payment options including PayPal. Students can also pay for classes via check, money order, cash, and credit card, but ForteMall.com won't assist in the transaction. This means that payments not made by PayPal become the responsibility of the instructor to collect.
