We knew from the start that we wanted to do online education differently. We have a simple philosophy that drives our view on education: learning by doing. On Skillshare, students prove what they learn through project completion, while collaborating with other classmates, asking questions, sharing ideas, and exchanging feedback in class. In August, we launched our version of MOOCs (massive open online course) – our Online Skillshare Classes. We’ve started to see a tremendous amount of success with this unique model around “doing”.
