Grokworx Software is looking for instructors and content authors to develop and deploy a new learning format structured into three hour "Targeted Learning" segments.
Targeted Learning is about building specialized courses around new and popular subjects. As an instructor, you know dozens of topics which students really, really want to learn more about. These sessions are not designed to fit together to build out a complete course like MOC, they are instead designed to fill in knowledge gaps. The Grokworx rapid lab publishing system will enable us to quickly and painlessly create instructor-led training to respond to current events in the industry.
In this format we market the instructors delivering the course because we believe the instructors are the key attraction for students. In this format it is a win-win for the student: they get the instructor they want and the content they are truly interested in.
Instructors get remunerated on net revenue. We are tentatively looking at instructor compensation of ~ 70% of the net revenue (net revenue = course price - cc transaction fees - courseware - courseware admin fee if we have to manually order it). For example if a 3 hour targeted session was priced at 149 USD, with no courseware fee, the net compensation to the instructor would be about $105 per student. So if you put 12 students in a class, some simple math says 12*105= $1260 for a 3 hour session.
