As many of you know, I am involved in the online masters
program at Full Sail University in Entertainment Business. I chose to go the
online route instead of moving to Florida and attending live because having just
graduated from Rowan University in music education, I was looking for a job in
New Jersey but also established myself in the New Jersey/Philadelphia area
where my family and friends are.
Attending Full Sail online is a
fantastic experience. I am able to attend live sessions online and complete all
my course work on my own schedule.
Online
education is becoming popular more and more every year!
As schools provide education for
online students, companies are providing many meetings, conventions, as well as
education, online.
I wanted to talk about a site I
visited a week ago that has me going back to it every week to see new updates.
I am talking about CreativeLive.
What is CreativeLive?
CreativeLive is a sight, much like
Lynda.com where you can learn about anything you can possibly think of. The
difference between Creative and Lynda is the fact that Creative has special
guests and professionals to go to their studio, live, and hold sessions to a
live classroom as well as online students that cannot attend live. The session
is also completely FREE to attend!
Just create a username and password and you are part of the CreativeLive
community. Where CreativeLive makes their money is you can chose to pay a
subscription and those are the students that have a chance to attend these
sessions live. You can also buy “On Demand” which is a complete rewind of the
session you attended where you can stop, play, and rewind to catch any parts that
you may have missed in the live session.
What do they teach?
Teachers at CreativeLive come from
all different backgrounds. I recently attended a session on mixing music where
I tuned into both sessions on Monday and Tuesday. Monday was a session from
12pm-7pm focusing all on compression. Tuesday’s session was the same time but all
about EQ. You can also have Creative cater to your needs. I am in music so I
have the setting set to notify me when any music sessions are coming up.
CreavtiveLive is a fantastic site because
not only can you tune in virtually, but also you are in the chat room and you
can actually ask questions to the presenter or educator and he or she will
answer your questions.
I advise everyone to check out
CreativeLive because online learning is so popular now and it has gotten to the
point where learning online is just as real as being in the classroom.
