This is a new search engine that goes by a name which is quite self-explanatory. There are many niche, vertical search engines out there.
For example, we have Monster for jobs, Zillow for real estate, AutoTrader for cars, Craiglist for classifieds, Amazon for books, and so forth. But, what if you wanted to find a course such as how to play golf, or a Spanish course? Courseopedia is a niche vertical search engine for courses. Educational institutions can advertise current classes and courses, and market them that way.
Such a portal is interesting to say the least. Education is a big market (always has been, actually) and course information is scattered all over the web. Courseopedia makes it easy for students to search for courses and instructors/colleges to market their courses all in one place. Ultimately, the team responsible for it aims to be the global, centralized destination of all the world’s courses. Whether or not they will succeed is to be seen, but they have come up with an interesting service that fills a noticeable gap in the search market as we know it.
Courseopedia.com In Their Own Words
“Courseopedia was founded in October 2008 to make it easier for students to find courses and for colleges, universities and instructors to market their courses. Currently, students must visit each school’s website to conduct separate searches for courses of interest. With Courseopedia, students can search for courses across multiple schools simultaneously all on one website. Educational institutions currently advertise their name or certain programs at the beginning of a new term using traditional media such as billboards, radio, newspaper, etc. Some also advertise online. But very few advertise their individual courses besides mailing out their class schedules. With Courseopedia, schools can post and market all of their courses on Courseopedia to be found by students who are searching for courses regardless of school. Courseopedia is open for any educator, including private instructors, to post their courses.”
Why Courseopedia.com It Might Be A Killer
It brings students and schools together by providing a space where the latter can learn all about available courses without batting an eyelid.
