MoocLab is very excited to announce that we will be launching a Premium Study Resource marketplace on MoocLab which will consist of crowd-sourced study notes, study guides, practice tests and more made available for purchase by students who have successfully completed a particular MOOC or online course.

Before the service launches for general availability, we are looking for people to start adding their study resources to the site.

If you have successfully completed one or more MOOCs or other online course(s), then this is your chance to earn money and help others with their learning by sharing your own study resources relating to the course(s).

Examples of the types of resources we are looking for are:

Your own study notes from a course or topic

A study guide for a particular course based on your own experience studying the course

Practice tests with sample answers

Assignment help - recommendations and advice relating to a particular course assignment that you have done

Essays - structure and content of any course related essays you have written (it is inadvisable to share complete essays as these could be plagiarized. Only share key points, for example)

In order to ensure the quality of these paid resources, it is important that you can provide evidence of your credentials when you upload your resource, and all resources will be moderated before publishing.

If you would like to get early access and contribute your resources for sale on MoocLab's marketplace, please contact us now.

We look forward to seeing some great resources to help others succeed in their online learning.
