This year, as part of the Adult Summer Reading Program, we thought we would arrange to do an online class collectively. Participants can join us each week to work through scheduled lessons together or they can do the work entirely on their own or they can join us for class when they need extra help with something while doing lessons they find easy on their own. The point is to dabble your toes in the ocean of online education with the support of a friendly group and work towards completing the class in the manner that best suits your style.
We were inspired by the fact that there is going to be a solar eclipse in August to make the class we will undertake Astronomy 101 (offered by Universal Class). We will begin on June 14 and meet each Wednesday thereafter (with a break on July 19) until we complete the class on August 2. The class will meet at 6:00 each week.
Please create an account with Universal Class in advance of our first session, if you do not already have one. Start from the library’s Research & Homework page (http://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/research-and-homework#U) and click into Universal Class where you will enter your library card number. As a new user you will be presented with a registration page, fill it out. Note that you will need to have an email address.
By the way, we welcome teens as well as adults for this program so why not enroll with your son or daughter and make the class a family affair?
