These are the five most interesting learning networks which I have encountered. Unfortunately, most of the open networks are commercial enterprises. As my online teaching avocation is quite an insular endeavor, the possibilities for networking are limited.

https://blog.babbel.com/ This is a relatively good resource for those that wish to learn a new language.

News In Levels A few of my online students really love to read about the current news as they sometimes do not have the time during their busy weeks to investigate it on their own. With this particular resource, they can read a news/entertainment/interest article in three different levels, and there is usually a video and audio presentation available for them to practice their pronunciation. https://www.newsinlevels.com/#
