Dear all,
I have recieved the following request which I found quite interesting. I know that Kings is involved in setting up (and has recently been piloting) an online course in Assistive Technology. However, something like Limu (described below) would be more flexible in that it could also be used as a CPD tool between members of Assistech, whereby the more experienced members could impart knowledge onto the less experienced ones. Ofcourse, the difficulty would lie in getting CPD points through IPEM etc, without which I'm not sure how many people would be interested.
Any comments?
Regards,

Subject: Permission sought to post invitation to teach online
Dear Sir/Madam,
I work for Limu.com, the online knowledge and learning marketplace
aimed at making interesting topics and subjects more accessible to
a wider learning community. My role at Limu is to identify
knowledgeable individuals who can share their expertise or
knowledge about a particular subject online and interactively with
others in our Virtual Classroom.
I was recently browsing through the archived messages of "render",
and I believe that some of your list members could be interested
in having the opportunity to share their knowledge and experience
with others, online and interactively.
If you permit, I would like to post the message attached below to
your list "render". The message includes my personal contact
details, and I would be happy to respond to any question you or
your list members may have.
Best regards,
Vincent Dumas

I would like to introduce you to Limu.com, the online knowledge
and learning marketplace where people all over the world teach and
tutor others about interesting topics and subjects. My role at
Limu is to identify knowledgeable individuals who can share their
expertise or knowledge about a particular subject online and
interactively with others.
I wanted to invite you to consider registering a course on our
site in your particular field of expertise.
You can register Courses or tutoring topics at Limu that range
from a simple one-hour introduction to more complex and detailed
courses of several hours over several sessions. You set the course
fee (there is no cost to you for registering a course) and take
bookings from people interested in your subject. Once details have
been agreed upon, you meet and hold the course online and
interactively in Limu's browser based virtual classroom from the
convenience of your PC.
Because we encourage our course participants to make the most use
of the live voice facility in the virtual classroom, we are giving
away a free headset to all those who register a course with Limu.
You can click on the following link to visit our site and take our
online tour that explains Limu and the virtual classroom in more
detail:

Please contact me should you need help in registering your
subject, or should you have any questions about Limu and our
service.
