    Welcome to Course Builder! Course Builder is our experimental first step in the world of online education. It packages the software and technology we used to build our Power Searching with Google online course. We hope you will use it to create your own online courses, whether they're for 10 students or 100,000 students. You might want to create anything from an entire high school or university offering to a short how-to course on your favorite topic. Course Builder contains software and instructions for presenting your course material, which can include lessons, student activities, and assessments. It also contains instructions for using other Google products to create a course community and to evaluate the effectiveness of your course. To use Course Builder, you should have some technical skills at the level of a web master. In particular, you should have some familiarity with HTML and JavaScript.

  • Equally important, as part of this technological and web-driven disruption, learners' capacity to develop and store evidence of learning in electronic portfolios, carefully organized around career, academic, or personal interests, has also been transformed.
  • personalized lifelong learning plan that can be assessed for credit toward a degree or for advancement toward a new job or recareering.
  • First, the personal learning, though specific to each learner, may have many common elements across multiple learners' experiences.
  • But there can be a personalized learning plan for each person—a plan that connects the learner and his/her history to a chosen future.
  • The components of the plan are not unique to each learner; what is unique is how the plan fits to the learner's needs and aspirations.
  • if learning plans connect learners' past and present to a future they desire, and if learners help "architect" their plans, then the learning will be deeply personal.
  • Learning Recognition Course. The Learning Recognition Course is a free course that walks the learner through the steps to build a prior learning portfolio, including requests for credit based on prior experiential learning.
  • CareerJourney. CareerJourney is a free course that inspires and guides people in their career journey.
