Online courses. How Matthinkmaps delivers.

Online courses and webinars have revolutionized teaching. But how far have they pushed this revolution? Only by saving the teacher the drudgery of tightening their head veins as they desperately try to drive a concept.

They have not taken away the lines and lines of words. Or the ear tiring recordings of teachers paraphrasing seriuos subjects in personality laced lingo.

While everyone would quickly interpret Udemy as Utopia Academy. It has only gotten as far as text documents sugar-coated with the word "downloadable".

Yet once you download the ecourse the rush to learn fades away in that "Open Folder" mouse click.

Clickbank on the other hand muddies things by devaluing ecourses. Maybe we should not blame them for reducing the art of teaching to a bank of clicks. They could be right about the true value of online courses.

The question is how can we all make teaching more valuable and less strenuous? Remember that strained learning lags in imparting knowledge.

One debutante in this daunting challenge has been Mind Valley Academy. While their approach is based on getting deep into the mind, the but comes from their use of eastern philosophy and new age language. Well and good. However, the world has turned into a practical planet where people need to concretize every fine aspect into an app. A world where structure comes first then creativity follows. Thus the feel good trigger of new age wears off like a mirage.

Thats where Matthinkmaps comes in. This website uses the practical workings of the mind to teach. No personality shows by the facilitator. No downloads. Only an interactive interface that emulates the mind.

So how will the interface look like? A set of changing ribbons that copy the mind. So the user does not have to think of their response thus saving mental effort crucial for leaning or making decisons.

Questions will be replaced by subtle hints and suggestions called thinkboxes. They are the autocomplete of thinking.

So why use this approach? When a question is posed to the mind it is sent intoa state of deep search. This state tells the mind to rummage the whole brain looking for a bag of answers. That is how brainstorming turns into a draining brain storm.

This system can also be called "me media" because it cares for the mind. It is simply adding vitrual reality to learning and problem solving. It works by turning the learners attention inwards by minimizing text, scrolling and wandering of the eyes which make social media tiring. Moving from beginner to guru is easier with that kind of streamlining.
