Note:
The next session for both classes is now full. I
will be teaching them again starting in September 2008. Please sign up
for my
online class mailing list to have first
chance at signing up for the next session.
General Class Info:
All classes will be conducted via a private blog where all
materials for the class will be posted.....supply list, step by step
PDF lesson notes, and high quality videos showing how I use each of
the techniques we'll be covering. The class videos will not be hosted
on YouTube because of their file size limits, so this enables me to
make larger sized videos with a better quality picture and you will
need a high speed internet connection in order to view them properly.
I have also set up a Flickr group for class members only that has a
private discussion area. Plus, there will be a scheduled live Q & A
chat on the class blog each week. Time and date of live chats will be
dependent on what works for the class participants overall.
Participation in the Flickr group and live chats are encouraged for
the full class experience, but are not required. There will be
transcripts of the live chats available for those unable to attend.
Once I have received your payment, about two weeks before the class
starts I will contact all class members with the blog
username/password and an invitation to the class Flickr group. You
will then be able to access the class blog where the full supply list
for the class will be posted. A new assignment along with a video demo
will be posted each Monday for you to view any time during that week.
Once a weekly lesson video is posted, it will stay available on the
blog for the duration of the class. Each video lesson will be anywhere from 10-25 minutes in length and
will require anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for you to complete
the weekly assignments. It's totally up to you how much time you
spend. :)
Please do not share the usernames/passwords or class materials
with anyone. They are for paid class members only. All class
materials/videos are property of Paulette Insall © 2008.
Payments:
I am accepting payment of class fees via PayPal (Most credit cards are
accepted with this method. You do not have to have a PayPal account to
pay via PayPal), Visa or Mastercard by phone, or USPS money order. The
last two options are reserved for U.S. residents only. Even though
these are online classes, I am limiting the class sizes because I can
only handle so many students per class.
Refunds:
Class fee is fully refundable until the day before a class starts.
Once the class starts, no refunds will be offered.
A high speed internet connection
is required for viewing class video lessons. They are high quality
Quicktime videos in 640x480 resolution and may take anywhere from
20 minutes to several hours to download. Past students have said that
it was more than worth the wait. :)
