BECOME AN AFFILIATE
Also, our course delivery platform, Udemy.com, now offers a very generous affiliate program. Anyone can become an affiliate and make money by promoting OUXI (and other) courses through your own email lists, websites, blogs and social networks. Affiliates earn a full 50% of a course fee when a student originating from their affiliate link registers for a course.
If you have a network of others who may be interested in online courses on topics related to the User eXperience (or any other Udemy course topics for that matter), it's very easy and free to get set up as an affiliate. It's much like Amazon's affiliate program, if you are familiar with that, but the affiliate fees are much more generous.
If you would like simple instructions for how to become an affiliate, please email> us your interest and we will send them to you.
New courses
The world of online training continues to grow, clearly the way of the future. Others are developing courses on the User Experience, and as we encounter them, we will vet them and add those we feel worth considering to our Course List page. We have just added two such courses - Design Your User Experience in 7 Simple Steps by Amir Khella, and User Experience: The Ultimate Guide to Usability, by David Travis. Both are well attended and get high ratings from attendees, and you can find them in the "Miscellaneous" table of the Course List.
Two other courses are currently under development and should be launched in the next few months. One is D 15.2, User Efficiency: Evaluation and Design, by Deborah J. Mayhew, and the other is D 105, Demystifying Affordances, by Rex Hartson. Once live, they will be announced through this newsletter.
