What are the type of courses on Future Syllabus?

A: The three major types of courses on Future Syllabus are described below:

1. Public Resource Learning (PRL) Program:

PRL programs are structured educational contents that leverage public resources to make learning more accessible and affordable. They contain publicly accessible resources and content that we source, organize into a simplified curriculum and optimize for smoother learning using the LMS solution on Future Syllabus. In a PRL program, students may be required to pay for:

  • Curriculum design and development
  • Instructional support and guidance
  • Assessment and evaluation
  • Certification and Recognition
  • Overall student management and administration
  • Other services that support student’s learning journey

See all PRL programs.

2. Instructor-Led Learning (ILL) Program:

In ILL programs, the instructor is the primary source of knowledge, guidance, and support, and the learning process is structured around their teaching. This approach emphasizes the value of human instruction, mentorship, and feedback in the learning process. ILL programs are often characterized by:

  • Exclusive, proprietary content
  • Instructor-student interaction and feedback
  • Personalized guidance and support
  • Structured learning pathways
  • Strict enrolment-based access

In contrast to Public Resource Learning (PRL), which leverages publicly available resources, ILL focuses on the instructor’s expertise and teaching as the core of the learning experience.

See all ILL programs.

3. External Resource Learning (ERL) Program:

ERL programs are similar to PRL programs given the fact that the resources are publicly available. However, contents in ERL courses are accessed on external domains and archives. In ERL programs, we do not offer support and certificates or any service to enhance learning. Kindly note that you will still be required to register or login and enrol in the course before accessing the contents.

See all ERL programs.

In summary, PRL programs use publicly available resources provided to reduce costs, making learning more accessible while ILL programs feature exclusive, instructor-created content which are only accessible on Future Syllabus. ERL programs on the other hand are contents on external domains. All remain accessible via enrollments (free or paid).

Q: Where do you get your course content from?

A: For PRL courses, we source the content from platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and other public archives. For ILL courses, we contact experienced instructors and industry leaders. We believe in harnessing the power of existing knowledge to make learning more accessible.

Q: How do you ensure the quality of your courses?

A: Our expert team reviews and reorganizes the content to ensure it meets our standards. We also add quizzes and assessments to help you reinforce your learning.

Q: Are your courses accredited?

A: While our courses aren’t accredited by traditional institutions, they’re designed to provide valuable skills and knowledge. Our certificates of completion are recognized by many employers and individuals as a demonstration of your commitment to learning.

Q: How do you choose which courses to create?

A: We listen to our community and identify topics with high demand and impact. Our goal is to provide courses that make a real difference in people’s lives.

Q: Can I suggest a course topic or request a specific course?

A: Absolutely! We welcome feedback and suggestions. Please contact us with your ideas, and we’ll do our best to create a course that meets your needs.

Q: How much do your courses cost?
