Immediate Gig - e-Learning

UPDATE: Please do not pursue this opportunity as it's posted here. Read the comment by Lisa for more information.

I received this by email today.

Hi...maybe you or someone on the list would be interested. My colleague is working with an e-learning company developing online courses for an undergraduate population. I had taken on the cost accounting course, but cannot complete it. It’s fairly straightforward...there is a template, an ID matrix with book references, books are provided...the company needs two topics completed per week...if you or someone else is interested, they need to immediately contact Lisa Weinberg at "PearlyWrites, LLC" (email address removed) to learn more about the project, send a resume that will be reviewed first by the company, then complete forms. Thanks much. Michele

Good luck!

Evelyn Christensen has put together an excellent resource for educational writers. It's amazing! I plan on using it often. Please visit her at Educational Markets for Children's Writers. I've put a permanent link to it on the right of this page.
