I am Keith Crawford from Waukegan IL, the owner of Maya John Enterprises LLC copywriting Services.  I created a copywriting course along with my partner Jack Bosma.  I really the online platform of Udemy. I hope to meet and collaborate with other instructors and courses.

[RonErez]

LLC sounds interesting. Actually a student just reached out to me about how to publish an app and not get sued. Obviously I could not give legal advice but explained that I understood it might be wise to be an owner of an LLC before publishing an app on the App store.

Does your field of expertise address this issue? 

[Alexia]

Following this as I have an idea for an app and am seeking to partner with a developer in another community. I have an LLC. It offers protection for my personal assets. I operate under the name of my LLC and sign contracts as principal. My lawyer was very specific about this to protect me. Interesting thoughts around copyright and apps, especially with ai integration. 

[RonErez]

Hi Alexia,

Sounds interesting. I'd be happy to talk. In general I to have time to spare although over the summer I am completely free since I teach at a university and during the summer I am not teaching.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Best if we would connect first.

What is your teaching area?

My teaching area will vary from subject to subject. I plan to create:

2) a league of legends course about climbing in Solo q (I have been a professional league player on support role and have been in Master tier since season three)

[AmbujJain444]

Hi  Everyone,

My name is Ambuj jain.  I live in Mumbai, India.  

Professionally, I am a soft skills trainer since 18 years,  an executive Coach since 7 years,  a psychometric assessor since 13 years, a trained Counselor since 16 years, and a Learning & Development professional since 35+ years.  

I wish to develop courses in various soft skills (starting with a course on Understanding Emotions)  to share my learning and experience with as many people as possible.  

I have joined this Community to fast-track my course creation by learning about how to deal with issues and concerns, and then once I have myself acquired a certain levels of experience, I hope to share that experience and knowledge too.

Here's a fun fact about me: I started to learn typing ( we don't see the mechanical typewriters these days,  Nowhere!) when I was, Well, 9 years old 🙂

[Bella]

[Prof]

You're very welcome. I like the fact that you said you started typing in a mechanical typewriter at 9. That's some serious stuff. I never used that; all my typing has been on the computer. 

Well done with that. 

[RaquelCoelho]

Welcome to the community! It looks like you have a diverse and fun career path! Teach on 🙂

[Ahmed_Jendoubi]

Hi Ambuj, welcome to the instructors community.
Good luck on creating/publishing your courses and having fun teaching, 
Using a typewriter is a great fun, I loved it myself.

Best regards,

[ShanellsArt]

Hi everyone! I'm Shanell. I'm from Georgia. My teaching area is creativity from painting to crafting, mixed with some academics of the subjects. I joined the instructor community because I miss teaching.  I currently work in public health which I also love so this is a way for me to have the best of both worlds. Something fun about me....ummm I have a guitar that I don't know how to play but had to have it bc of Taylor Swift. I love her music 😆 🤣 

[Prof]

Welcome. 

Try to learn to play that guitar. It will be fun. 

[Ahmed_Jendoubi]

Hi Shannell @ShanellsArt  and welcome to the instructors community,
My sincere wishes for your success in teaching on this Platform.

Best regards,

[AmbujJain444]

Welcome!

Creativity is a great subject to learn, to practice and to teach.    I love to see it from the Neuroscience and emotion perspective.

It's amazing to know that you got a guitar just bc you love a particular artist's music 🙂

[TimAlan]

Hello, I'm Tim and I just joined today after my first course was published. I am super excited to be on here and I can just say that making a course (like most things) is a lot more involved than I thought it would be. I learned a lot just getting to the last step of publishing. I'd never thought about captions, for example, so I had to learn about that format and how to create those.

I am from Arkansas, born and raised in Walmart country. Worked for Walmart for most of my career as well. I also study Japanese, play Harpejji, and compose and mix music.

My teaching area is Computer Science and more specifically Java, but I also enjoy teaching Cryptography, Statistics, Python, Image Editing, Music Production, C#, Writing, and Combinatory Logic / Lambda Calculus.

A fun fact about me is I'm more of a writer than a software engineer. I feel like it's my interest in language that makes me good at programming.

[Prof]

@TimAlan welcome on board. 

[Ahmed_Jendoubi]

Hi Tim @TimAlan, 
Welcome to the instructors community.
congratulations on publishing your first course: that must have been a rewarding effort.
I wish you great success in your teaching.
Best regards,

[AmbujJain444]

Hi Tim,

Welcome to the Community and Congratulations on the publication of your first course 🙂

It's great to know about your fabulous knowledge base.  I like the way  you connect your interest in language  with your capabilities in programming and I am curious to know brings about such a connection.
