My Course
Hey everyone,
Many of you have noticed we’ve got a new feature on the website: My Course.
My Course is designed for both students and teachers to be able to organize the lessons they want to study/teach. My Course is one of the Premium services located in the Learning Center.
How do you use My Course?
To get access, you have to subscribe as a premium user or the 1 week free subscription. Next, select the lessons you want by clicking on the “Add to My Course” buton just below the lesson titles. Then go to the Learning Center. You will see all of the lessons you have selected listed (in blue).
What new features does My Course offer?
1. Inside My Course you can organize the lessons you choose into different lists. This way, you can create your own lesson courses and organize your study schedule. Maybe you want a Lower Intermediate set and an Upper Intermediate set. Or maybe you want a set about sales and money, and a different set dealing with lessons on management. Create or delete lists and move lessons around.
2. Click the “My Course RSS” button and copy the url - then go to itunes or your podcatcher of choice and subscribe by pasting the url. itunes will add your list (i.e. “Kris Fedorak’s Englishpod Course” appeared in itunes and it started to download the lessons in my list).
3. Click the “My Course PDF Zip File” button to download all the PDFs from the lessons in your list.
4. Download individual PDF transcripts and Lesson Plans by clicking on the red play buttons.
5. Rate the lessons by clicking on the “Rate this product” link and selecting the number between 1-10 (10 is the best) that you feel that lesson deserves.
Use as much as you want, when you want. My advice is to play around with it a bit and after a few minutes you’ll discover all the new cool features there are. As far as I know, we’re the first to do this, so let us know if it’s easy/difficult to use and what other features you want : )
Best Wishes,
Kris/Team ODE
