Course builder for creating online education courses.


 
This site looks promising.  Google is entering the online education game.
Welcome to Course Builder!
Course Builder is our experimental first step in the world of online education. It packages the software and technology we used to build our Power Searching with Google online course. We hope you will use it to create your own online courses, whether they're for 10 students or 100,000 students. You might want to create anything from an entire high school or university offering to a short how-to course on your favorite topic.
Course Builder contains software and instructions for presenting your course material, which can include lessons, student activities, and assessments. It also contains instructions for using other Google products to create a course community and to evaluate the effectiveness of your course. To use Course Builder, you should have some technical skills at the level of a web master. In particular, you should have some familiarity with HTML and JavaScript.
If you have technical issues or feature requests, please report them in our Issues Tracker.
Withing the Course builder site I did a search for ESL courses see here and 50 popped up. I have only had a cursery look so far but it all looks very interesting.  Was alerted to this site through Leigh Blackalls Facebook link posting. Certainly worth a bit of a fossick and a play.
