JTL’s e-learning listing has been expanded: We are now offering a Udemy course on online business. In coordinated learning units, you will get an overview of eCommerce and how JTL products can help you optimize and automate your online business. Our Udemy program is clearly a “work in progress”, so you can look forward to continuous additions in the near future.
Udemy - what is it actually?
Udemy is the world’s largest online course platform with more than 30 million registered participants and around 50,000 teachers or “instructors” who share their knowledge with the community. The advantage: the platform allows instructors to upload various materials. Whether video, PowerPoint presentations or PDFs – the colorful mix guarantees a lasting learning effect and keeps the individual courses varied and exciting.
And that’s exactly what convinced me personally.
How I came to Udemy myself
Perhaps I should take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself: My name is Manuel Mälzner and I work as a Training Manager at JTL. In this function, I designed our first Udemy course and currently lead it as an instructor.
I can look back on many years of professional experience in eCommerce, as I was an online retailer with my own store. For the last five years, I have dedicated myself specifically to the topic of e-learning. Privately, I have been a passionate Udemy user for a long time, so I was quickly able to convince our JTL Managing Directors of the benefits of our own courses for you – our community.
What are they? That’s easy to summarize:
Our Udemy course as a supplement to JTL's e-learning listing
As you know, we already offer numerous videos about JTL products and their features on our JTL YouTube channel. They usually deal with a specific topic and form a self-contained unit. Our Udemy course is different: it consists of many different videos that relate to each other in terms of content. For example, you can follow the setup of JTL-Wawi step by step – and start the next video with the knowledge gained from the previous one.
To increase the learning effect for you, I have always peppered my explanations with specific exercises. They are designed to help you test your theoretical knowledge in a practical application. They will be solved during the next learning unit so that you can check directly whether you have done everything correctly.
Overall, our Udemy course aims to provide you with the broadest possible overview of eCommerce. That’s why I don’t just focus on JTL products, but also cover important topics for online retailers such as tax issues. I have prepared many aspects in clear PDF documents so that you have something to hand even after the end of the course. You can collect them with each course unit and have a comprehensive reference book afterwards.
The most important advantages of our Udemy course at a glance
Actively shape the learning content!
The most important advantage for you, however, is that you can actively influence the design of the Udemy courses. Are you missing important aspects of the current material? Or would you like to receive learning materials on a specific topic in the future? Then send us your feedback! Either via email or the corresponding participant feedback function on Udemy.
We see JTL’s presence on Udemy as an open program that we are continuously working on and in which we want to take your wishes into account as much as possible. So if you have any suggestions for topics, I look forward to hearing from you.
Our Udemy course - who is it for?
Our current Udemy course deals with the first steps in eCommerce and thus forms the basis for all content that we want to provide in the future. It is therefore aimed specifically at newcomers to online business who want to get an overview of the possibilities offered by JTL products. At the same time, the course should appeal to our service partners, who can draw on various aspects covered in the course in their advisory function.
As already mentioned, JTL’s Udemy platform will be continuously expanded in the near future. JTL-eazyAuction and JTL-Shop 5 are two of the topics that are already on our agenda. We want to prepare these in such a way that even “old hands in eCommerce” can learn something new.
