The National e-Commerce Extension Initiative

Tutorials Seek to Add More Learning Opportunities

In order to improve e-commerce skills on subjects such as social networking and Web site design, the National e-Commerce Extension Initiative has added a tutorials page to its learning offerings.

In addition to the ten learning modules currently offered by the Initiative, the tutorials page seeks to add more detailed information or to tackle subjects that the modules themselves do not address. For example, many of the online learning modules have information on marketing products or discuss how to list products online to maximize sales; however, none of the modules clearly address such things as sales over social networking sites or the hands on design process that produces actual product pages. To build further understanding, there is also included an Internet Readiness Quiz that helps entrepreneurs and small business owners learn the different aspects that are required to add e-commerce to current business offerings. Additionally there is a tutorial’s section in Spanish. The tutorials are regularly updated and if there’s one you think we should add, let us know.
