    Great show, Dave! I have been researching online courses for several years and have looked at several of the platforms. I enjoyed hearing Melissa’s perspective since she worked at Teachable. For me, the one major weakness of online courses is that they are basically self-study courses and most people don’t finish them. I know I usually don’t.

  2. Harley,
    I’ve got plans for the School of Podcasting to start having people go through in groups to boost the amount of people who finish.
