Back to Episodes👩🏫 Why Online Education is Broken (But We Can Fix It) — with Sally Burns of The Portal
Description
I’ve had SO MANY conversations about the problems with online course platforms.
Mighty Networks vs Circle vs Kajabi vs Teachable — none of us like the existing options, and we’re waiting for someone to build something better.
So today I’ve invited Sally Burns to the show, because she’s building an alternate platform for teaching and learning online — a digital neighborhood called The Portal.
Tune in to hear about:
- Why Sally left corporate e-learning to build The Portal
- How to stop piecing a million tools together to host your course
- The false promises of Online Course Culture™️
- Why we have to break down teacher/student hierarchy
- How The Portal helps you fill your classes — especially if you have a small audience
- What it actually takes to bootstrap a learning platform
- Ways to help old offerings reach new audiences
👉 If you’re excited about The Portal, learn more and join here!
