Not too long ago, Google came out with a Course Builder program, designed to allow schools and institutions an easy way to set-up their own MOOC platform. Today, I decided to take a look at the program to get a sense of their offering and what it can do. Naturally, I have some high expectations, I mean, this is Google after all.
The first thing that I did was navigate to the Google Course Builder “home”. Quite honestly, I couldn’t help be feel a bit overwhelmed when I came to this site. With so much information, it’s a bit hard to know where to start. It’s clear that Google has a specific target in mind with this page: developers (or at least very web-savvy). In other words, if you are relatively new to setting-up online training programs, then you will likely find the Google Course Builder page is not user-friendly.
