Instructors, welcome aboard

If you've visited the site over the past couple of days you may have noticed something slightly different with our appearance!

We've rolled out some changes to our design which include a tabbed menu interface to separate the different sections of the site more logically - basically that means learnpipe should be easier use and navigate. We think it looks cool. Let us know what you think!


Calling all instructors

We've added a new profile option for training instructors. So if there's a topic you can teach, sign-up now! Here's a summary of all our registration options:

Sign-up as a Learner if you want to find training courses or are seeking lessons from instructors, or just want to share your ideas/knowledge with the learnpipe community!

Sign-up as an Instructor if you are seeking opportunities to work with training companies or want to find new students - or more likely for them to find you.

Sign-up as a Vendor if you're an organisation that offers structured training courses or other educational services.


You must create one of the above profiles when you register, but you're not restricted to having one profile per account. Once you've created an account you have the option of attaching multiple profiles to it, so if you're an Instructor that can teach C++ programming, but you also want to learn Ruby you can create a Learner and an Instructor profile, or any combination thereof.


Further additions/updates you might like to know about:

• We've updated our FAQ section by adding new FAQs for Messaging and Instructors and also modified a few existing answers so they make more sense, we hope!

• A new private messaging system has been added so you can easily contact other learnpipe users.

• If you look at the main search page you'll see we've opted to streamline the search further with a single search box. Just type in the topic you want to find and hit Search!

• You'll also notice it's a bit cloudy with all those tag clouds about the site - these highlight keywords that are relevant to your search term. The more a keyword stands-out the more popular that keyword is within the site (and hence more results). We hope this will aid your search - if your initial keyword doesn't get the results you want, you may spot another related keyword which hits the spot. We've got more ideas for tag clouds so stay tuned.
