I signed up the online photo class "Take the Mystery Out of Flash Photography" after my unsuccessful attempts of using a flash at Monterey Aquarium (also for YC's civil ceremony). It's the first time I ever try a online course so the whole experience is kind of interesting.
There are about 10-15 people registered in this class from all over the world (most of them from Europe). How do I know? Because we can sign on to a forum area and "introduce" ourselves. I posted a "hello there" message last night and felt very excited about the coming class just like in the beginning of a new school year (even though there is no physical campus to go to this time). I also found most of my classmates had taken classes from the same online school before, a good sign that their previous experience with the school was positive and it is not a hoax.
Our class starts on Aug 6th, which means the class material is supposed to be posted on the web today. I checked it this morning. Lo and behold it was there. No class bell, no announcement, the course already started.
The material looks a bit slim but that's fine because the goal is to force myself to do the assignment. Once I finish my assignment, I can post it online then the teacher and my classmates can give me feedbacks. All the discussions and Q&A sessions are held online, forum style.
OK, now it's time to study the class material. I will report more after I submit my first assignment. See you later.
