\"\"Given the fast growing MOOC phenomenon (read our article on\u00a0MOOCs<\/a>), Google launched an online video university recently.<\/p>\n

Google Helpouts<\/em> is an online service providing a platform for users to collaborate, share expertise and assist other users by means of live, real-time video streaming.<\/p>\n

To use this service, you have to be a member of Google+. You will be able to access Helpouts<\/em> either through your computer or tablet or by downloading the Android app for your cellphone.<\/p>\n

Within seconds you can have a personal instructor at your disposal or when it suits you. No limits on time or location exist – you can have access to expert advice any time of day or night.<\/p>\n

Helpout schedules a session when it suits you best and outomatically adds it to your Google calendar. An option to be reminded via sms or e-mail also exists to ensure you don’t forget your session.<\/p>\n

Thousands of providers have already joined Helpout<\/em>s and teach in a wide range of specialist fields. Experts or, as Google refers to them, “providers” can be small, medium or large companies, but also individuals.<\/p>\n

Even you can host your popular origami class on Helpouts. Just remember, experts have to be approved by Google and need to list their qualifications, prices and schedules.<\/p>\n

Unlike MOOCs, Google’s new service comes at a cost.<\/p>\n

Clients pay per minute or session for a live video conversation with an expert who gives Google 20% of his fee as payment. Free sessions are also available for some companies as part of their marketing strategy<\/p>\n

Payment is made via Google Wallet<\/em>, which holds your credit card details, and you can pay per session or per minute. If you’re not satisfied with the service,\u00a0Helpout<\/em>\u00a0 will provide you with a full refund – if you request one within 72 hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"In lyn met die vinnige groei van MOOCs (lees ons artikel oor MOOCS<\/a>), het Google ook die week `n aanlyn “video-universiteit” op die been gebring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Google Helpouts<\/em>\u00a0is `n aanlyndiens wat gebruikers die geleentheid bied om te kollaboreer, kundigheid te deel en te help met behulp van lewendige, intydse videostrome.<\/p>\n

Om die diens te gebruik, gebruik moet jy `n Google+ lid wees, waarmee jy toegang tot Helpout<\/em>s kry met jou rekenaar of tablet, of deur die Android-toepassing op jou selfoon te laai.<\/p>\n

Binne sekondes kan jy ‘n persoonlike instrukteur tot jou beskikking h\u00ea of wanneer dit jou pas. Jy kan enige tyd van die dag of nag toegang kry tot `n deskundige se kennis – geen beperking op tyd of geografiese grense nie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Helpout<\/em> skeduleer jou sessie wanneer dit jou pas en plaas dit outomaties op jou Google kalender. Jy kan ook kies om deur middel van sms of e-pos herinner te word.<\/p>\n

Helpout<\/em>s het reeds meer as 1000 verskaffers wat enige beroep insluit en lesse gee in `n verskeidenheid spesialisareas. Kundiges of “verskaffers”, soos Google hulle noem, kan klein, medium of groot maatskappye wees, maar ook individue.<\/p>\n

Selfs jy kan jou origami-klas op Helpouts<\/em> aanbied. Onthou net dat kundiges deur Google goedgekeur moet word en `n volledige beskrywing van hul dienste, pryse en skedules verskaf moet word.<\/p>\n

Ongelukkig, anders as MOOCs, is daar `n koste verbonde aan Google se nuwe diens.<\/p>\n

Kli\u00ebnte betaal per minuut of sessie vir lewendige, intydse videogesprekke met die deskundige, wat op sy beurt aan Google 20% van sy fooi betaal. Sommige maatskappye sal wel gratis sessies aanbied om bemarking `n hupstoot te gee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Betaling geskied deur middel van Google Wallet,<\/em> wat jou kredietkaartdetails bevat, en jy betaal per sessie of per minuut. As jy ontevrede is met die diens, waarborg\u00a0Helpout<\/em>\u00a0`n volledige terugbetaling – \u00a0mits jy dit binne 72 uur versoek.<\/p>\n

Skielik lus om te leer kitaar speel? Matt Gibson wag vir jou by\u00a0Google Helpouts<\/a>\u00a0…<\/p>\n
