Needed: information on giving classes locally

Jack, have you thought of offering a teaser type course on a site like learn.com. I don't know what kind of course you are contemplating offering, but I know that site is full of all kinds of fun, short courses that are offered free. There's no cost to you as an instructor to offer it, and you get some free publicity for yourself. With the free publicity, and provided you have a web presence, this will help with the marketing of your own courses.

If we ever get around to completing our interior design booklets, it is our plan to offer an online intro course on interior design. In fact, creating the course content will be one of the more difficult jobs to accomplish. If you already have your course content, then it seems you're on your way.

There are other sites, that I've bookmarked, which I can provide you, if you are interested in exploring the online route. The nice thing I find about online learning is, you can easily accommodate a larger number of students per class, and if you were doing it full time, you could have more than one class running simultaneously.

From the research that I've done, once you have the course content, many of these online sites will give you complete control for you to structure your course any way you choose. And you're also in control of setting your own tuition fee per student. The fee to you as an instructor to sign up, is often a very nominal $100+.

Good luck
Eliz.
