The LatitudeU website, which offers online courses from many different publishers, continues to expand its catalog of free and pay-per-course online courses. One of our favorite LatitudeU publishers is Global Mindset, whose courses are short, no-nonsense, yet quite well designed.
According the Global Mindset listing at the LatitudeU website:
“Global Mindset’s free online courses are interactive and self-paced. Learning paths are built with an eye on teaching individuals to maximize their work performance. All Global Mindset free courses & business training are divided into short lessons with slide examples to illustrate issues clearly and in real-world settings. Plenty of practice situations, drag-and-drop interactive choices, and feedback allow you to engage the concepts and remain fairly active throughout.”
While I haven’t examined all the Global Mindset courses, I can tell you that those I have examined are well-designed and concise. Most take less than two hours to complete. And, as claimed, they provide plenty of opportunity for practice and interaction with the concepts. In short, they are highly efficient, building skills and helping you retain new concepts as quickly as possible. Here are just a few examples of the many free Global Mindset titles available from LatitudeU:
