About Us
InfoSource Learning is a developer and turnkey custom solution provider of high quality Web-based training (WBT) for the education, corporate and government training markets.

InfoSource Learning’s “How To Master” online training libraries cover areas such as basic PC literacy for educators, teacher professional development skills, and classroom technology integration skills. The courseware features a content-rich environment of interactive, self-paced learning and testing, built on the premise that people “learn-by-doing.” With InfoSource Learning’s interactive learning approach the learner actively participates with lessons by clicking on objects on the screen to achieve lesson objectives, instead of sitting idly and watching a video or presentation.

I’m involved in a couple of other businesses, and one of my latest passions is helping teachers earn supplemental income.  Perhaps it’s because I grew up in a household of teachers, or just because I value what teachers do so much — and are so incredibly underpaid for — I thought it might make sense to put some of my business brains behind a venture or two to help teachers.

So, check out TeachMarket.com when you get a chance . . . it’s an extra-bucks-for-teachers resource courtesy of InfoSource Learning.

Then, if you’re still in a teachery sort of mood, you’ll like want to know about Teachbits, another new business division from InfoSource Learning. Teachbits is a teacher-to-teacher marketplace that lets teachers sell their lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, digital photos, spreadsheets, online lessons, or just about anything else that can be put into a digital computer format.
