However, there does not seem to be any information for teachers. Instead, buried in the bottom is a link "Apply to Teach on Myngle." This was only a signup form, there was no information. Before I sign up for an account for any site, I want to see what the features are, and be able to evaluate whether the site would be useful BEFORE signing up. I checked the FAQs, but they were only links to forums, not really FAQ's, which should provide basic info about account and site features. I would expect to get answers to questions like: If I sign up to teach, what are the costs and the benefits? How does the system work? How much can I expect to earn, What are the system requirements? What kind of technical assistance is provided for teachers? I was not able to get answers to any of these questions , so I will move on and not waste my time. What I did learn from the teacher forum is that many people are having technical problems, and no one is answering their questions. I also could not find a contact link. I tried to read some of the complete forum post but when I click on any link, I get shut out with a sign up form. Once again, no useful information. If Myngle is serious about providing online teaching opportunities, they would do well to set up a teacher page with real technical support, and real information. With no useful information, I feel like I should not waste the time to sign up for an account.
