OK - 50 members have looked here...
Anybody try this yet ??
Thank you for sharing.
But in Facebook Udemy Groups you/one get ALL.
I just tried it and it works but im not sure how many courses that are shared here and also free in gala.
Thanks for the resource
Thanks for replying here Berlinerin and Jvjonnyc !!
I asked about it because I will not be using this info myself;
No more courses are needed by me - and I do not use or even look at FB...ever.
Just saw your post here. Can try it as an alternative way to look for interesting courses. Because the section quite silence here after many many legends left. Thank you for your resources and reputation given.
I am a fan of Udemy. I like the marketing plan where many course creators make the course free for a few days. I check on this site and the Udemy site frequently to see if I can find any course that piques my interest.
I have signed up for more than 7,000 courses that are stored on the Udemy website. I appreciate that I do not have to find storage for those courses.
My county library system now offers the ability to view any (I believe this is true) Udemy course for FREE. You just need a library card. This is through Gale.
Gale is a global provider of research and learning resources. Learn and improve skills across business, tech, design, and more. Includes 10,000+ on-demand video courses in multiple languages.
You can go to the Gale site and search for libraries. It is not a very good search engine IMHO.
After trying to actually LEARN stuff via pewdemy 'courses' - my own problems with them became clear to me...
1 - Too many of them are mostly some talking head blabbing on endlessly without actually providing more than a tiny bit (if any...) of useful info;
2 - Finding which of them have decent audio quality and volume AND have a presenter who speaks clear, unaccented english is too time consuming to be worthwhile;
3 - I find reading to be a more effective and efficient way to learn things, and since getting most 'courses' in any clearly written form is nearly impossible, why bother ??
4 - Video course 'learning' is roughly the same as pretending to 'learn' from TV shows - a really silly concept.
The closest I will get to this stuff anymore can sometimes be by searching at youtube for short, concise tutorials...
A great example of this (for me) was what is called plastic welding, and via YT I was able to fix some broken things very well and easily.
Of course - YMMV - this is just my 2.5 cents on the subject.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention bro. Pewdemy has become just that...stinky. This source could be good for those who need a more "at will" learning goal.
