Advanced WebWorks Publisher 6.0 Online

NOTE: We offer this class only as a private class; please contact training@scriptorium.com for details.

The content of our Advanced WebWorks Publisher 6.0 online course is the same as our classroom-based Advanced WebWorks Publisher class.

What's the difference?

In the classroom version, you travel to our site (or we come to yours) for two days of classroom training. In the online version, you stay home and take the class remotely via the Internet.

How does this work?

We send you a course package by email, which includes The WebWorks Publisher Cookbook, exercises, and a couple of cheat sheets. The class meets one hour each day for eight days, either via chat or conference call. Before each meeting, you complete the assigned reading and homework. You submit the homework either directly to the instructor (via email), or to a dedicated email list, which is just for the students and the instructor. During the class "meeting," we review the assignments and go over questions.

Why distance learning?

Participating in a live class with a real instructor present in front of you is the BEST way to learn. But our online class provides an attractive alternative if you:

	Can't get the money to travel.
	Would prefer to take a class that's spread out over several days (you'll spend about 1 hour in "class" and another 1-2 hours on homework each day).
	Can't afford the time away from the office for a regular class. You'll save on travel and lodging expenses (always a plus with the boss).

	Comfortable working independently
