Classes are now being taught on line with an accompanied Video. The initial class will be available on Aug 20th 2009 and each Thursday at 7PM
These will cover the first 2 levels (Simplest and Middle) described above.
The goals of the Classes are listed below:
- Train students to function in at least one of the areas above. A simple non graded test will be required from each student to ascertain the level of class that they may be enrolled in.
- Each student will have a portal on the DNNClass website for learning and development after completing the non graded test..
- Successful students will be able to work at home anywhere in the world as long as they have internet access .
- All pages created by students will be consistant with the material being presented and offensive language will not be allowed.
- Students will not use their home pages for experimentation. This is so that errors which will be inevitable during the learning phase will not cause loss of their portal.
Online Classes begin on August 26 8PM EDT. The Instructor will be available online by a chat program during the scheduled online class. Following the scheduled online class the dated class will be available to all registered users for replay. See announcements Menu for further information.
Classes for Module Development will be sceduled for advanced students on request.
N.B. All classes are free but we ask that all students who desire products to enhance their portals must buy their products through Snowcovered by clicking on Snowcovered Link in right Pane of this page. The products (Skins and Modules) will be installed and applied to the students portals.
If a student wishes to have an Independent Website after completeing his portal work must purchase that from Link
