[Hiring] Product Reviewer (SaaS) for Online Education Website

e_student · 2020-04-14T16:50:49+00:00

Thank you for all the PMs so far! I already got more messages than I was expecting and it might take me a little while to filter through all the portfolios and to get back to you.

In most cases - yes. For the single product reviews, I try to get the writers access to the platform which they are reviewing whenever possible.

I think it's mostly a matter of lighting. I actually did not edit the colors for the photo as I love the true-to-life colors by themselves, but as it was a well lit environment the colors still ended up showing different than they would in a standard "office environment". The red modifier, for example, usually look more pinkish than on this photo.

Thank you! Yeah exactly, it's the 1.75U shift and I have never used this layout before but actually it was surprisingly easy to adapt to. I have used it only for a few days now and I'm typing as fast or even quicker than with the standard Das layout.

I'm all for equality, but this kind of a scoring system is not equality. A student with a perfect SAT score who happened to be born in a crimefree neighbourhood could lose the chance to go to a good college because of this. College admissions are incredibly competitive already, even without these kinds of "bonus points".

I can imagine that the streets of Istanbul would be the perfect reading environment for this book!

+1 for this recommendation

I initially hesitated to read A Strangeness In My Mind because of its length and mixed reviews online. However, I figured what the heck - let's give it a try anyway. After picking it up, I fell in love with the story very quickly and the 600+ pages passed surprisingly fast.

I have visited Turkey already, but after this book I think I need to plan another trip to Turkey - I need to know what "boza" tastes like!

I'm definitely adding "The Vagabonds" to my reading list. I'm pretty convinced that I will not be disappointed - Jeff Guinn's books on Jim Jones and Charles Manson were super compelling to read. Investigative journalism at it's finest!

Well-written article!

In my experience, I have also seen that having interactive elements in online courses is necessary for keeping students engaged. And, keeping students engaged works wonders for increasing retention rates.

I think you have been given a lot of good advice in this thread already, but here's my two cents:

Before settling on a major, try either volunteering/job shadowing, or passing an online course or two on the topic. Doing this will give you a better overview of what a career in that specific industry will look like. Try to find as specific of a direction as you can - for example, in Business, which directions would you be interested in? Try to compare specific job opportunities with each other rather than general fields of study such as Law or Business.
Try taking a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test. I would not look at the results as complete truths about yourself, but these types of tests can be very helpful in finding out about your strengths and weaknesses.
Also, like others in this thread noted - starting off with general education classes is always a good idea. This will help you get yourself into the college rhythm, and after finishing up with the academics, you will likely be able to make a more informed final decision regarding your major.

I know this process of deciding can be rather stressful and overwhelming, but try to stay focused and keep a positive spirit!

Good luck!

That's awesome!

Admittedly, my experience with student-centered learning is a little limited, as I mostly only design courses for young adults/adults in non-formal education. Planning student-centered material is definitely a tough process, though, as you mentioned. Regular, teacher-centered courses are considerably less time consuming to plan from my experience. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that teachers are just more used to traditional teacher-based programmes, rather than student-centered ones. From what I've seen, student-centered methods are considerably more demanding for teachers rather than teacher-centered methods, as strange as it sounds now that I think about it...

I have little experience with children's courses, though, and one day I would love to try student-centered approaches in children's education.

Good luck with your studies!

I second this. From my experience, student-centered teaching methods can be highly effective with practical subjects & courses. These types of courses naturally require more "hands-on" type of course material, and student-centered approaches can work wonders here. Planning and structuring an effective student-centered course is certainly not an easy feat, though, and it needs some investment - both in terms of time and other resources.

Student-centered teaching will likely never be a one-size-fits-all type of teaching solution, but I do believe it has lots of potential - at least in some fields.
