Savvica’s Nuvvo, the free on-demand eLearning Web platform, has launched eLearning Market, an online course marketplace where instructors can advertise their Nuvvo courses to the public for free. Students browse the eLearning Market, look for courses that match their interests, and read through listings that include course name, portal, instructor, start/end date, and price (over 50% of current Nuvvo courses are free). Also included is Skype integration, allowing Nuvvo instructors to conduct live audio sessions with their students. “Traditional eLearning is asynchronous,” John Green, Savvica’s President of Technology, explains. “We integrated Skype to bring a human element to online learning.” Nuvvo was developed almost entirely on PowerMacs and PowerBooks.
