LEARNO.NET: Professional Video Training by EJC

LEARNO.NET is an online learning platform launched in December 2015 by the European Journalism Centre (EJC). Designed especially for journalists and journalism students, LEARNO.NET also serves bloggers, advocacy groups, media entrepreneurs, and writers - in short, anyone with a public-interest mission and journalistic mindset. The video courses are accessible worldwide and are accompanied by an online support community of peers.

EJC is regularly adding new courses to the platform; as of this writing, courses include:

• Bulletproof Data Journalism: "Make sure you know how to protect your work against all kind of errors that could arise from working with data."
• Google Search for Journalists: This course teaches learners how to use Google search more efficiently in order to get a more professional research experience.

As a result, there is an increased need for journalists to sort real, authentic content from the fakes. This course will provide the basics on how to get started with verifying online information."
• Doing Journalism with Data: First Steps, Skills and Tools: Comprised of video lectures, tutorials, assignments, readings, and discussion forums, this course is open to anyone in the world with an internet connection who wants to tell stories with data.
