    Thank you for making another valuable video Joel. My journey in IT also started with "volunteering". Although it was more like employer didn't pay my salary 6 months but I wouldn't mind then as I gained a lot of experience and with that experience got a proper job...

      It sounds like you may need to focus more on software solutions that can help you deliver your courses more effectively. Consider looking for applications specifically designed to support course delivery, such as those that streamline content management, enhance student engagement, and facilitate assessments.
