How Our Online Courses Work
 |
It's easy to get startedAll our online courses are hosted on our own community site, The Word Cloud. Each week, the course comprises: • A video introduction At the end of the course, your tutor will give you a personalised set of recommendations to take with you on your future writing career. Your course tutorYour course tutor will be a top quality professional author (or screenwriter), who has a lot of experience in working with first time writers. We only ever use tutors who are genuinely friendly, passionate and keen to help you improve. InteractivityEvery single aspect of the course is interactive. If you've got a question about the lecture, ask away. If you don't agree with something on the video, say so. If you want to launch your own discussion topic, go right ahead. You won't just be interacting with your tutor, you'll be sharing and learning from everyone else on your course too. Because we keep class sizes small, you will get to know people and make friends. Your time commitmentBecause our courses are online, you can watch the video, do your homework and ask your questions whenever and wherever you like. There are no set times or set days where you are required to participate. All we ask is that you have a few hours available each week for the duration of the course. And if you do slip behind for any reason, that doesn't matter either. You can simply catch up by looking through past discussions. |

The course environmentIf you're technically proficient enough to turn a computer on, you should be proficient enough to master our course - and there'll be plenty of help available if you get stuck. Our teaching takes place on the Word Cloud, our writers' community site. If you want to see how that works, just pop over and take a look. Sign up for the Cloud is quick, easy and free. If you join the Cloud a week or two before the start of your course, you'll know how everything works well before your course begins. |
