Survey: Online Learning And Social Media

by · October 2, 2009

I soft-launched a little survey on Twitter earlier this week, but wanted to make sure that those who weren’t watching at that moment (or didn’t see retweets, etc.) got an invite, too. I’m doing a simple, less than five minute survey around the topic of online learning as it relates to social media. You can take it by clicking here to visit the survey page.

Doug Stevens on Shutterstock.comThe thought behind this is that I hope to begin offering some premium value webinar-type content to folks soon. These would be paid offerings. Think of them as intensive learning sessions, everything from 101 stuff to advanced thinking around social media strategies. The thoughts I share on the blog and my newsletter would remain free.
