Your opinion is an integral part of our project. That is why we ask you to cooperate with us, proposing improvements to the services which are already available on our portal, or suggesting new useful functions that might be implemented.

How to improve the effectiveness of your courses in CourseForMe

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:56:52 +0000

Sir/Madam,
to improve the visibility of the courses you inserted in our portal, we would like to suggest some simple but extremely important guidelines to follow:

the course title should not be longer than 65 characters
try to differentiate as much as possible the information about your course in our portal, compared to the one you might have posted on your website or on other portals similar to ours
insert the courses in the correct category and use the most relevant keywords, avoiding to be too general
when you provide all the course details, try to give all the information, in order to answer thoroughly to the following queries:
1. Why chosing your course instead of one of your competitors?
2. What does make it different from your competitors' courses?
3. What level of subject (or subjects) knowledge will the students achieve attending your course?
4. Which are the advantages?
try to be as much exhaustive as possible while filling all the fields of the course description

An automatic system assigns an efficiency percentage to each course, based on the information inserted in the course sheet.

It also highlights those lacking a detailed description, so the higher the percentage assigned, the easier will be for the users to find that course.

If, as shown in the figure, you have some courses with less of 50% of efficiency, you'd better provide more details in order to obtain a higher efficency percentage.

Social Buttons: Google '+1' and Facebook 'Like'

Sun, 28 Aug 2011 21:34:56 +0000

There are many “social buttons” on the web and they are very popular. CourseForMe has been using for longtime the “share” button from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

They are useful to advertise what we like and what we want to suggest to other users through the most popular social networks.

Recently, Google has introduced the button "+1", which is similar to "Like" from Facebook and it’s a way to say that something is really interesting or that you want to suggest it.

What makes these buttons innovative is that “+1” and “Like” influence the results of the searches made respectively with Google and Bing and so they can increase the number of the applications for the courses published on CourseForMe.

In order to capitalize the advantages, CourseForMe has inserted “+1” and “Like” in the pages of the courses, of the training centres and of the categories. We suggest you to invite your students to click on “+1” and “Like” both on the pages of your courses and on the one of your training centre.

Please, don’t forget “+1” and “Like” on our new blog!
