GIMP & Canva are great, free photo manipulation / editing softwares.

 

I've also seen folks use Trello, Asana & Google Doc/Sheets for course management and outlining.

I also want to add these Udemy-specific resources, based on questions we see frequently in the community:

For the photos, I would add unsplash.com and newoldstock https://nos.twnsnd.co/

 

And on https://www.slidescarnival.com/ you will findlots of great free power point templates.

Hi @JoyceWSolomon, it always depends on the site, sometimes you'll have to give credit to the author and sometimes you just can use it without credits. For the music, for example, if you use the music from Incompetech.com you'll have to give credit to the author, you'll find what to write right in the info of the song. About the photos, if you'll use the pictures from Pixabay.com, most of the time you will be free to use the photos also for commercial purposes without any credit, you will find about the license of the photo on the right of your screen.

Csnva can also be used for making PowerPoint slides too. There is so much that you can do with Canva. It's more than  just a photo editor.

I agree with you. After knowing that canva is super great at created images, graphics, and other things, I have completely strived to master it.

are these posts for real? or they are bots?... they look surreal...

Christian, these are real posts by real people and I'm one of them. I noticed that you have brand new Neo4j training courses, congratulations!

I wish we someone would have developed a crime analysis platform based on this relationship focused data technology when I was on the job. Nonetheless, it's good to know it's here now!

Since the certification is free it seems (to me) that you might want to consider sharing how you use Neo4j in order to give some context to the application. 
I noticed that there are tons of okay, to overly technical videos on the Internet, so hopefully your course is exactly what is needed to bridge the gap!

Best wishes!

This is amazing Laurence. Thank You so much for this collection. I am new in here, but I am not new in using a camera (I am a photographer), and I am not new in I structi g and talking infront of an audiencebir a screen, so I am just really excited to finally be in here as an instructor who got my first cource written down in details. I just arrived in here today and you will be the first I have to give thanks to.

Thank You 🙏🌞

@JocelynH +1 for Asana. I've been using it since 2016.

I prefer Trello,   Asana does not offer a free version and start spamming you with emails.   Just FYI.
