Online Classes

How the Classes Work

Classes are self paced. There are no set times to meet. Students can work through the class content at their own speed and on their own schedule. For most classes, there are 2 to 3 Zoom class meetings depending on the length of the class. These are typically held on Saturday afternoons at 3:00 pm Central. They are recorded and made available to all students, so participation is not required to get the full benefit of the class.

The Class Course and Forum. The class content is delivered by written lecture, images and video on a dedicated platform accessible only by class participants. The Class Forum provides a great interactive learning experience where students can interact with one another and the instructor. Students post their work for comment and critique throughout the class. The instructor responds to questions and work posted for comment and critique on a daily basis.

• Students retain continuing access to the course content, including videos.
• Zoom video conferences for discussion, critique and demonstration. Students can view and download the Zoom conferences to their own device.
• Upon registration, you will receive a Materials & Reading List for your class.
