[Foundation-l] Slick "create and teach a class" website (n u v v o)

[SJ]

FYI : a "create / join your own course" site.  Free courses seem to be free;
they take 8% of any fee courses.  I can't tell exactly what their copyright
arrangement is; their TOS is only available as a pdf doc.

On-demand learning website Nuvvo is designed to let you create and teach
your own class or take a class that someone has already designed.

Whether you're a K-12 teacher, a corporate trainer, a university professor,
or an amateur who knows baseball cards inside out, Nuvvo can help you reach
students all over the world.

Free, but with integrated e-commerce, Nuvvo is the best of both worlds.
While Nuvvo is always free for instructors, you have the choice to charge
students an enrollment fee if you wish.

After taking a look at Nuvvo's offerings, it looks like most of the courses
(from Turkish for Beginners to IT Training) are free. If you're considering
teaching a course and charging a fee, Nuvvo charges a reasonable 8%. It's
worth checking out if you're looking to pick up a new skill, or if you've
got the bug to teach.
