Unlike most educational experiences you've had in the past, where lectures and testing are common, SelfReliant trains using project-driven and experiential learning techniques. You probably know intuitively that you learn best by trying something out; in fact, learning by doing is one of the most effective educational methods. SelfReliant trainers are called "Catalysts", because they make your natural learning process faster, easier, and more efficient just like catalysts do in nature. We'll first ask you to brainstorm a simple idea or project, then we'll help you get that idea online. Every session will take you through the most advanced techniques for effective online self-education : searching, filtering, mentor-seeking, contributing, and organizing. Whether we're discussing something simple, like how to blog on Wordpress, or complex, like how to contribute to Linux, the skills you'll need to learn effectively are roughly the same.

A big part of learning online actually involves things like "how to ask good questions", "how to find people you trust", "knowing your motivations and goals", and other big picture topics that help to define your self-driven learning experience. Whether you have a team of employees that needs training in an array of Internet platforms, or you're an individual looking to become more familiar with social media, SelfReliant can help.
