With the exception of audiobooks all of the contents in the search engine should link to learning materials, from free university courses, right down to short instructional videos. We love it, and we think you will too. Feel free to play with it, and come often because we’ll be updating very regularly. Relieve the frustration of navigating spammy results in general search engines.

Bonus: If you are a webmaster and want to add this engine to your website or blog to provide an extra attraction, you can do so easily and quickly by adding the code here to your page(s)

This is a seven week, free course conducted through email. The advantage of these kinds of courses is that you can really proceed when you have time, and if you don’t find it useful you can stop if  you choose.

Here’s the description followed by the url for more information. It may be ideal as a refresher course

Good communication skills are the key to business success. Think about it.

Communication is the key to sales. If you can’t communicate effectively with your customers and/or clients, you’ll lose them.

Communication is the key to management. If you don’t communicate effectively with your management team, your sales staff, and/or your bank manager, misunderstandings will fester into business crises.

Communication is the key to marketing. The most carefully orchestrated marketing campaign will fail if you don’t get the right message to potential customers, or worse, communicate the wrong message entirely.

And the most fundamental communication skill is being able to speak well.

If you’re concerned about the impression you create when you open your mouth, if you want to be able to communicate face-to-face with people without irritating or confusing them, this is the course for you.

The Speak to Success course consists of six speech lessons and a wrap-up lesson that will help you shape up your oral communication skills. In each lesson, you’ll work on a specific speech skill by learning about a related sloppy speech problem and performing exercises designed to eliminate that speech problem.

Over time, well all develop sloppy speech habits, speech habits that can make us difficult to understand or make people not want to listen to what we’re saying. These speech lessons for improving your oral communication skills will make you sound more polished and professional – and ultimately, because of the power of good communication, become more successful.

This is a seven week class. You will receive the first lesson as soon as you sign up, and a new lesson each week. While I’ve emphasized the benefits for business and professional people here, anyone who works with other people can benefit from shaping up his or her speech. Why not sign up now and start improving your communication skills?

There’s an amazing amount of couseware and training available on the net nowadays, and colleges and universities are making much of it available free of charge in online format.
