For example, many companies will add your email as a lead if you opt into one of their free downloads.

People are often quick to give praise to online courses. They are flexible, accessible, and efficient. It is a major reason why massive open online courses (MOOCs) have hundreds of thousands of active students taking courses online. Major universities like Stanford, University of Michigan, Yale (and others) offer online courses because it helps them reach more perspective students and is good for their brand.

I’m a fan of Harold Jarche’s Seek-Sense-Share (SSS) model for Personal Knowledge Mastery (PKM). I was also reading about self-regulated learning , and a proposed model for that. And I realized they could be related. Naturally, I created a diagram. To start with, Harold’s model is oriented around coping with the information flow as a component of learning.

I find that people who speak multiple languages often don’t recognize that they have a greatly desired skill that others would be willing to pay money to learn. It is a major reason why language courses are some of the best selling online courses in the world. Sure, there are major programs like Rosetta Stone and DuoLingo (a personal favorite of mine ), but there is also plenty of room in the market for language courses taught by individuals.
