As a Course Author
Outdoor Ecademy courses are formed of carefully curated and edited content provided by experts in their fields across the industry. If you have an area of expertise and a great idea for some content that would suit an online course format, please contact us. Course authors earn the lion's share of the revenue of their courses hosted on the platform!
Best of all, we've got the technology covered, so you can relax. If you are able to meet the criteria, we will walk you through the process and help to turn your niche topic into a full interactive online course - complete with exam and certificate if necessary - after also helping to edit, optimise and polish up the content. This is a great way to gain exposure and recognition in your field, while earning income for your expertise and contributing knowledge to the industry.
As a course reviewer, advisor or editor
Have expertise or experience in one of our existing course topics? Make your mark and improve the quality of everyone's education by helping out with some valuable edits, feedback, advice or content additions. The contribution can be as big or small as you like.
What do you get in return? Many people get a great satisfaction from knowing they have made a positive contribution to the industry, in the same way that people regularly submit edits to Wikipedia and other collaborative resources. True passion for sharing knowledge is the purest of motivations. However, depending on your level of involvement, you can also be incentivised in a variety of ways, such as:
- Free course enrolment or refund of fees paid so far (also for other courses of interest)
- Earning a share of the revenue of the course (if adding significant additional content)
- Having your name added to the credits as a contributor, advisor or editor. This mention can optionally include a link to your professional profile or even your business website, if relevant. This gains you exposure as an authority and leader in your field, and increases the SEO of your site through the additional mention and link.
- You are able to mention on your own CV or professional profile that you have a role at Outdoor Ecademy as a contributor in a specific field.
Casual Feedback Provider
Are you a standard user of the site and are just itching to mention something you have thought about as you went through the student experience with us? It could be anything, big or small. A technical glitch, an aesthetic improvement, a grammatical error, a thought on the bigger picture of the future development of OE, an educational detail of one of the courses, or any other idea or suggestion! Don't be a stranger, just drop us a super quick email.
Sharing, linking, distributing, featuring
It goes without saying that OE can make the biggest difference when it can reach the most people! If you have any way to share, distribute, link or feature OE anywhere, please either email us to discuss, or simply go for it! Just copy and paste the link www.outdoorecademy.com.
In some cases, your help can be rewarded through cross-posting or referral commissions, or we can help to make the post interesting by writing an article for your blog or publication. We'll leave the details to your imagination - the first step is simply to express your interest.
Just email info[AT]outdoorecademy.com to introduce yourself or your organisation and discuss cooperation.
