Number 1 site in Singapore for education - Learning Courses

Most of us almost never think of further education in Singapore after we graduate from the main stream schools. Life usually weights in with its responsibilities such as a demanding job and family. Laziness also kicks in with the difficulty of finding a suitable something to do in the later years.

Most of us also think that after education courses are expensive, time consuming and difficult to find. But this is usually not the case. There are many further education courses in many areas and with short course hours. They also do not cost arms and legs. There are many cooking classes, dancing lessons, yoga sessions and arts classes falling into this category. Yes, you may have thought of a long term night class or online university for further education but now as the parent of yourself, you can take many small classes to learn something new, have a new hobby or even to learn something to start your side business.

Courses are everywhere but it requires some search to find them. In Singapore for example just googling gives many course ideas but plain google search is not refined enough. There is a better option though : Learning Courses web site. Learning Courses is the biggest directory of courses in Singapore and lists many courses such as Cooking classes, Dancing lessons, Photography courses, Professional Diplomas, Computer Classes, Coffee Brewing sessions, Make Up courses, Google Adwords, Marketing events, SEO courses, Golf lessons, Yoga sessions, Photoshop courses, Swimming lessons, Arts classes and many others.

Learning Courses does not offer these courses directly. Instead it is a listing for the courses. If you are also conducting a course in Singapore and want to list it in this directory, you can simply go to the web page and submit a new course.

Learning Courses is Singapore's number 1 site for education.

In short, learningcourses.com.sg has got every kind of course listed out there. From baking to diplomas to photography to yoga classes. Just name a course in Singapore and you will probably find one there. What I suggest is also scroll through the courses without any filter to find a new and interesting course which you may have never thought of but would love to have.

Khan Academy - Future of Education

For Salman Khan and the students on the planet earth, last 5 years were great. These years transformed him from a hedge fund manager to the most influential teacher in the world while gave a 1 man academy available from everywhere in the world. As Bill Gates stated correctly "we've moved about 160 IQ points from the hedge fund category to the teaching-many-people-in-a-leveraged-way category. It was a good day his wife let him quit his job."

Khan Academy on the Gates Notes

In the summer of 2004, Salman Khan learned that his seventh-grader cousin, Nadia was having trouble in math class converting kilograms. He wanted to tutor her but there was a problem. Salman was living in Boston while Nadia was in New Orleans. However, this did not prevent them. Using Yahoo Doodle software as a shared notepad, and a telephone, Salman Khan started to tutor Nadiaand then her brothers. Word spread to other relatives and friends. But it was proved to be difficult for all to sit at the same time for tutor and Khan solved this problem by creating videos and uploading them to Youtube. These videos and their growing popularity created what is now known as Khan Academy. In 2010 at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Bill Gates calling it "unbelievable" and revealed that he has been using Khan Academy with my kids.

Eventually, Salman Khan left his full time job and started to devote all of his time to the academy with the vision to create a virtual school composed of tens of thousands of videos about every teaching topic under the sun.  He is also well supported with the world community. According to wikipedia:

Several people have made $10,000 contributions; Ann and John Doerr gave $100,000; total revenue is about $150,000 in donations, and $2,000 a month from ads on the Web site. As of September 2010, Google announced they would be providing the Khan Academy with $2 million to support the creation of more courses and to enable the Khan Academy to translate their core library into the world’s most widely spoken languages, as part of their Project 10^100.[8] Salman is aiming at making nothing less than "tens of thousands" of tutorials offering the "first free, world-class virtual school where anyone can learn anything."

Khan Academy recently released KhanApp, a smart phone application to access the video pool of Khan Academy. Broad band internet is providing the students a chance to directly learn from a genius from anywhere with internet connection. Khan academy also has plans to overcome to obstacles: Language barrier and no internet connectivity. They plan to translate this works to the languages of the world and prepare CD's for rural areas.
