Online Workshops

Are Online Courses Right for You?

At this point, most online workshops rely heavily on text-based materials and are not truly multimedia-interactive. Some instructors use live chat and bulletin boards to increase interpersonal connections.

If you learn best by listening, interacting with classmates, or participating in physical demonstrations, then our online workshops may not be for you.

Online workshops are very good for people with time, schedule, or travel constraints, and for people who fit the following description:

  • You can easily follow written instructions and enjoy using print materials as the primary source of directions and information. You like to learn "on your own" with the instructor as a facilitator.
  • You are comfortable with computers — you can create, save, and manage files on your computer; install software; send and receive e-mail attachments; and "paste" text from a word processor into an e-mail address.
  • You realize that experiencing success and satisfaction with an online workshop depends on self-motivation, effective time management, and the ability to assess your own understanding and progress. You should be able to recognize when you require clarification and communicate this to your instructor.
