Create-A-Course

If you did not see the Mini Course you wanted, help create it here!

  1. Check the list of others’ "Create-A-Course" ideas to make sure someone has not already created your idea. If they have, add yourself to the list of interested folks!
  2. If it is not on the list, then click here, fill out the information and your idea will be added to the list. Others can also express interest in your idea so tell your friends!
  3. When we see enough interest in an idea we will recruit an Instructor, set-up the course and contact everyone on the list to let you know that your "Create-A-Course" is now a reality. You will then have the first option of registering for the real course at that point.
  4. THANK YOU for taking the time to help CREATE the Mini Course program!
