Our Online Locations
Live – Zoom Videoconference
The Zoom videoconference simulates an in-person classroom experience as closely as possible in an online format. To attend classes, you’ll need a phone, tablet or computer and access to the internet. You can participate in the class from wherever you’d like, whether on your living room couch or in your office.
Asynchronous – Daily Write Round Robin
The Daily Write Round Robin does not have any mandatory live class meetings. Students interact with each other and the facilitators entirely by email correspondence. Students must have daily access to email to participate in this class.
Asynchronous – Wet Ink
Wet Ink, an online platform designed specifically for creative writing classes, offers robust opportunities for community engagement and curricular development without live meeting times. Students must create a Wet Ink account and log into the site on at least a weekly basis in order to participate in Wet Ink classes.
Asynchronous – Mentorships
During mentorships, students interact with their mentors entirely by email correspondence. On occasion, engagement may also take place over the phone and/or by Zoom videoconference, but the primary mode of interaction is by email.
