Coursepedia Service
Coursepedia is an online course directory provided by OpenHigherEd.com, a social networking site specifically for higher education community. With our Coursepedia system, educators (professors and other course instructors) can advertise their courses online, create a course group and interact with students about their courses. Our audience includes prospective and current college / graduate students, career seekers, school administrators, course instructors / professors, service providers, employers and other interested individuals. OpenHigherEd.com is an ideal place to market your institution programs, courses and other related services, and recruit students and employees. We offer the following services:
1. Announce your courses in our "Events"section
If you are a course instructor and teaching a course in the upcoming semester, you can post a course announcement in our "Events" section under the category "Course Announcement". You can list your course as a free listing (Basic listing) or a paid listing (Featured Courses) to attract more students. This will be particularly helpful if you teach an online virtual course and want to have more students in your class from all over the world.
