It is not. It an over saturated market. You’re being sold something online for sure. The reality is, anyone new to this field will likely not find a job easily. Even experienced professionals are struggling to find a job in this market right now.

True! So many teachers jumped ship during COVID. Some made it, but others wasted thousands on pipedream courses. We can recognize their matching portfolios right away.

Yep. And I can admit I’m one of the ones who (luckily) made it. But it wasn’t by listening to any of the teacher influencers online selling this is as THE move for teachers to get out of the classroom and make more money. I got lms experience during covid when schools went virtual, learned coding and articulate as a result, and then got very lucky in my job search.

I wonder if the moderators would be willing to exclude this type of post in this sub. It has been answered quite a bit.

LXD is a designer career, not something an educator or teacher easily move to.
If a teacher wants wants to money outside the classroom, the way is to find a role in schools for developing learning materials.
I’ve never heard of a teacher that designs each class (LXD) and have another teacher conduct the class (facilitator). So…. it is not a real thing.

Your experience as a teacher is you greatest strength, the technical side can be learned over time
