You don’t need to tell Your Friendly Web Design Instructor that there are alternatives to my class, because I’ve tried them all!!
Compare My Class With Other Online Classes
Other online classes tell you when to start which may not be when you’re ready to begin. Sometimes, you can’t even start at that time because the minimum number of students did not enroll.
Not so with Intro To HTML. This is Learning On Demand on Steroids. Enroll and start today. Get ready for max attention as you’ll be the only one in class. You won’t get lost in an online class with 100 other students all panting for the teacher’s attention. You’re going to have your own private tutor.
Learn in a fun, pressure-free environment!!
Let’s compare a typical online web design class with my online class.
| Typical Online Class | Intro To HTML | |
|---|---|---|
| When can you start? | Only on regularly scheduled dates. | Any date and any time. I’m ready to teach when you’re ready to learn. |
| How many students in your class? | Varies. Usually there is no limit to class size. | You’re the only one in class. It’s a lot like private tutoring. |
| How often is your work reviewed? | Varies. | I review all of your work within 48 hours after you post it to your Work Space – including weekends. |
| Can you ever call the teacher? | Usually not. | Yes, if the best way to help you is with a phone call or a webinar. |
| Is the course material available after the course is over? | Usually not. | I usually allow access to the material well after the class is over. |
| Can you change the class schedule? | No. | Yes. |
What Are Other Ways to Learn To Make Web Sites Other Than Through My Online Class?
Books
You could curl up with a stack of cold, techie computer books, and try learning how to create a web site. You could work through examples in the books, but you wouldn’t get any personal guidance and feedback to let you know what you’re doing right – and what needs a little work.
Videos And lynda.com
You can use free services, like YouTube, to watch web design training videos but you never know what you are going to get. Some of the information I’ve seen in these videos is incomplete – or worse.
Then there is lynda.com which is an excellent video training service, but it’s a lot like learning from a book. You still do not get the personal feedback you need as you go about learning how to make web sites.
Classroom
This method is pretty good because you get live education. When I teach on-site, I do it using my style of performance education. However, I find that it is not as effective as learning in my online class where I review every page you build, line by line. I make sure that you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing. Doing that in a classroom with lots of students learning at different speeds, is impossible.
While you’ll still have to log in to my class (when it’s convenient for you) to learn how to make web pages, it sure beats going to class every Thursday at 6:30PM in the darkest, cold of winter or the hottest days of summer.
Self-Study
Is it possible to learn how to make web sites without reading a book, looking at a CD-ROM, or going to class? Sure it is, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll learn it correctly, efficiently, or completely. I know this from experience and I’ll bet that you can’t!!
To learn on your own, all you have to do is study a page’s source code in any web browser and you can figure out how the page was made. However, if you’re starting to learn by studying source code, you’ll find the learning curve is an uphill climb.
Intro To HTML takes that mountain of information and flattens it using time tested materials and learning techniques.
