What is a course on Riipen?
Creating a course
Courses are created by educators to describe the type of work their students are looking for, based on the course curriculum. A course page is used to advertise the types of projects from companies an educator is looking for. Employers looking to collaborate with students in a class can connect with educators by submitting their project to a course in the marketplace.
For example: A marketing professor who typically has students create a marketing plan for a hypothetical business, ABC Carpets. In the Riipen version of this experience, the professor would post a course that allows students to create a marketing plan for a real-life small business. Companies see this in Riipen's marketplace and apply to the opportunity. Then, students interact with the company to create a real deliverable to use as part of their marketing strategy.
