Learn & Master "The Art of War"
"Learn & Master The Art of War" is a 7 week distance education course on Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" by Jeremiah Bourque taught over Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro at eduFire. A rising e-learning medium, eduFire provides for easy payment for tutors/ teachers through PayPal and provides the best possible bargain for the motivated learner through its SuperPass program, offering unlimited SuperPass-compliant classes (now including most non-free classes on the site) for $29 a month with a $1, 7-day trial subscription.
Connect Pro provides a platform for live audio (and video potentially, though video is not used in this course, being a bandwidth hog) and, crucially, easy use of PowerPoint files for poignant visual presentation. Connect Pro also enables real-time chat for ease of communication between presenter and attendee.
