New classes are up and ready for enrollment at My Creative Classroom for Fall!! I've got a few new classes, revamped a couple oldies but goodies, and lowered prices on most classes. It's now more affordable and convenient than ever to take an online class.
- Register for an account at My Creative Classroom. This will set up your own personal account and give you access to the FREE classroom, Everyday Moodlings. Most of the instructors post free lessons in here, including me!
- Choose classes you'd like to register for from the Course Categories tab on the top of the website. Complete the class registration process.
- You'll then be given access to the classroom. There you'll find the start date of the class and a full supply list. You can use your stash or purchase supplies for the class.
- On the first day of “class”, the first lesson will be revealed. Lessons consist of a sample photo, pdf with step by step photos and directions, and a video or slideshow showing you how to complete the lesson. You can ask questions in the forum, chat with fellow students, or call or email the instructor for additional help.
- Each week, you'll be assigned “homework”, usually an assignment helping you practice the skills in the lesson. You can complete the homework at your own pace — it is just meant to help you learn the skills covered in class.
- After that, a new lesson will be revealed each week until the class is complete. For example, a 4 week class that starts on a Tuesday will have 4 lessons posted on 4 consecutive Tuesdays.
- A week after the last lesson has been posted, the class is considered finished. You still have access to the classroom for a couple of weeks to finish up anything you missed. You can also print out the pdfs from each lesson and use those forever. You'll also be asked to complete a feedback survey about your experience in the class.
