The (COVID) Hybrid Learning Experience

Like all schools, DigitalCrafts responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by temporarily transitioning all on-site classes to online instruction.  The online experience has been incredible, but we understand that local students like to get out of the house sometimes as well.  On July 6th, we launched phase one of our "return plan," which includes an optionally hybrid experience, coupling the flexibility of online instruction with on-site community and Teaching Assistants in the room.  To provide clarity and avoid disruption during class, we expect hybrid cohorts to remain hybrid through completion unless CDC guidelines improve.

Here's how it works: lead instructors will continue to teach class remotely, leveraging now familiar tools like Zoom Video Conferencing, Slack, and our proprietary Learning Platform (currently in beta).  You may take the entire class online if you wish, but our physical locations will also be open to those who want to work alongside peers and TAs. For students streaming class on-site, we'll have daily temperature checks, face masks, cleaning supplies, and spread out workstations with external monitors.
