Take the First week of Digital Photography for FREE!


I love the look and feel of a freshly created course. Especially when I know that the facilitator is invested in providing his/her students a top-notch experience in learning a particular skill or technology.

Rusti Gregory, who teaches both Dreamweaver for Teachers and Teaching, Learning and Having Fun with Digital Photography, recently revamped both titles and I want to make sure as many interested teachers as possible experience the high quality.

Digital Photography is the original GlobalClassroom course (which launched our 80+ title course catalog, our free Moodle platform and most recently our eSchool services and hosting). It's a great course that covers the basics, gives students real field experience and lets them interact with a "pro". Not to mention that Rusti gives is a really personal touch and is very attentive in the classroom via discussion forums, email correspondence and the great presentations he's created to guide students through the materials.

That being said, any interested individuals can sign up and take the first week of Teaching, Learning and Having Fun with Digital Photography for free. Meander through the first week, review the resources and participate in the activities before deciding if it's for you. If you then find yourself eager to complete the online course (and to receive graduate level credit for doing so) just click the link to the course purchase page and check out for one of the upcoming dates. The next course starts at the beginning of October 09.

So if you want to dip a toe into the world of online education but want to try it before you buy it, check out the first week of Digital Photography for free. Whether you buy it or not I think you'll see that online courses can be enjoyable, straight forward and easy to master.
