Would gladly give you my email though.
Will definitely try to get that across better with our landing page.
Hmm, I think that means...
"We are helping people train for a new role..."
"We are helping people train for a new role with high-quality tutorials..."
"We are helping people train for a new role with high-quality tutorials and tracking their learning so they can use it to apply for jobs."
Ohhhhh, in other words... You help people train for a new job and give them something to put on their resume? Awesome! Why didn't you just say so? =)
I suppose people are more likely to say, "Oh.. oh. Hmm. Sounds impressive," if you say it the other way, though.
First, people looking to learn things often do not know what is required of them, that's why they're learning. Taking a play from the Khan Academy or Treehouse playbook, offering a suggested order that the user should complete the videos in (from most basic to most advanced) eases the learning process. Otherwise, they won't know exactly where to start.
The other issue is with content curation. Aggregating learning resources from different places adds the problem of an inconsistent instruction style, teaching method, and process. For example, different design resources may teach different design principles. Different development resources may teach different ways of solving a process. To advanced users, knowing multiple ways of doing something, or even alternate/conflicting methods or approaches isn't a bad thing--they can use their existing knowledge to decide which is the best in which situation. But for someone new, being presented with alternate/conflicting approaches will just confuse them.
Also, why is the ability to Add a role on the home page in the list of example roles? Perhaps if it was called Request it would make more sense.
The Browse section is for individual skills versus roles. It seems that having it centered on Roles makes more sense. At least have the option to browse Roles without following them.
Finally, I found a link to Vimeo for Product Launch Promotion wherein the Learning Jar panel initially appears but then disappears: "How to Earn Customers Without P..." http://vimeo.com/39473593
Requiring a logged in user to use the site should not be the first step.
I can't understand why you'd want to advertise that so blatantly. I'd recommend something less abstract, like a useful explanation of what your site does etc.
