Screen Time In the New Year
==================================================
Today, I finally completed my first asynchronous course. I've been
delivering continuting education, corporate training, and university
courses for eight years now, and I finally have my first asynchronous
course... well, almost, the course is under review at Udemy, but I don't
foresee any major obstacles.
It has been a long road to get to this point. I first proposed
asynchronous learning to USF Polytechnic, when there was such a thing
before it was split off from the University of South Florida and became
the stand-alone Florida Polytechnic University. The request didn't fall
on deaf ears, but there was a major wave of turn-over, then the transition
out of the USF system. That transition, in turn, created a massive second
wave of turn-over.
I then began working with Polk State College, and delivered many informal
proposals for asynchronous corporate training along with one very formal
proposal at the request of the former Director of the PSC Corporate
College. I've proposed the topic to Florida Polytechnic once its team
stabalized, and I've made my desire to see growth in the field known to
the head of Full Sail University's former corporate training concern: DC3
Education. Full Sail is the university where I teach full-time, and I've
even done direct work for the VP in charge of the former DC3 Education.
Nobody has ever been willing to devote the time or resources necessary to
bring the prospect of asynchronous training to light.
For that reason, I've tasked my own business, RCR Business Ventures, with
making it happen. RCR is launching A.B. Gamma as a training endeavour and
it will subsequently feature the ChaseRaz line of training and consulting.
Again, my first course is currently under review, and I expect that the
course will be launched sometime in the first week of January.
Wish me luck and much prosperity (and influence!) in the new year.
