Online classes and e-learning have become increasingly popular in the last few years — and for good reasons.
They're cheap, impactful, and a step towards a better career and/or personal life that you can begin almost instantaneously.
You can take courses from Ivy Leagues at a fraction of the cost of attending, learn how to tailor a resume for new job opportunities, adapt to a shifting industry without heading back to a college campus, or skirt an existential crisis by learning a new skill at any point in your life.
In other words, online classes provide meaningful access to affordable education — you just have to commit to showing up (or, rather, logging on).
There are a plethora of computer and business classes on sites like Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and EdX, but creatives may find the most appealing classes at CreativeLive.
The site houses over 1,500 classes taught by 650+ industry-leading experts. The community includes over 10 million students and each class falls under one of five categories: photo and video, art and design, music and audio, craft and maker, or money and life. Ultimately, the classes are centered around making creativity a habit, be it for personal or professional use.
As a CreativeLive student, you can watch on-air broadcasts for free on five channels for 24-hours a day, or you can buy a class and own it for life with the option to watch, rewind, and access bonus materials whenever. This is particularly great for anyone looking to develop a hobby, since you may fall out of consistent practice and want to pick it up again later. As a whole, the site adds structure, insight, and timetables to an industry that can feel obscure and opaque to beginners, as well as provide walk-throughs of new advancements for veterans.
If you're looking for a way to develop a creative habit, add industry know-how, or expand a creative business (many of which rely heavily upon the individual), then CreativeLive may be a tool worth considering.
