Try out our Hybrid Format in 2024
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Many students who tried our Hybrid format in our A Journey Through The History of Middle-earth (HoMe Series) series shared that they loved trying out the new format and that it introduced some flex into their schedules when they could not make it to the recorded session.
In 2024 we will be offering some modules in the hybrid format and we look forward to hearing about how your experience with this alternative format to some of our classes.

HYBRID MODEL: As per usual SPACE classes, each week we will have two 1-hour sessions; the Recorded Session and the Discussion Session.

RECORDED SESSION: The first session will be a recorded session with your Preceptor. This session will either be recorded live or pre-recorded. We will disseminate the recordings via email to all enrolled students for viewing purposes prior to your discussion session. If you are participating live in a recorded session, you are welcome to interact through the use of your video/audio/chat, but please note that these recordings may be used for future iterations of the module.

DISCUSSION SESSION: The second session in the week will be a live discussion with your Preceptor. These discussion sessions will NOT be recorded, and students are welcome to use their video/audio/chat as desired for interaction with fellow classmates and Preceptor.
