Post III. MentorMob

From my opinion, the MentorMob project exemplifies the Web 2.0 idea at its best. The website represent a collection of courses on different skills and hobbies that can be accessed for free. It should be noted the number of the offered skills’ categories is quite small (only 8, including parenting, photography, entrepreneurship, etc.); however, courses are thoroughly organized and very informative.

It is interesting how the MentorMob team members create the content. They search for quality materials on the Internet and then categorize them under the corresponding skill. Thus, it is some kind of a wiki, but greatly structured. This way of content arrangement allows the user to save enormous amount of time and concentrate on learning. If you are an expert who would like to contribute to the project, the website provides you with such an opportunity. 

I am learning photography now, so I primarily use the MentorMob website as a reference book (e.g., when I need to refresh my knowledge of the Exposure Triangle concept).
