What makes these classes so different?
The difference:
-
Each presentation is designed to deliver the best possible learning experience.
-
Only the highest quality images and graphics are used with content that is easy to read and a presentation style that is easy to follow.
-
Each time a class is taught, the presentation is reviewed and revised. No two presentations are the same, even if they are taught within days of each other.
-
There's always a little extra for attendees. Online resources are carefully vetted and shared so attendees can explore and learn more about the subject later at their leisure. ​
-
​The majority of classes are free to the public through the support and sponsorship of local libraries and community groups.
