Welcome to Pionline

Tomorrow will usher in the spring season and I had planned on March 1st for the official opening of classes at the Production Institute. Unfortunately things just aren't quite ready yet! Nonetheless, the work is going full speed and I will be offering several different programs in the production arts very soon.

First will be the beginners production arts course with a focus on audio that will span 24 weeks. This course will be perfectly suited for high school seniors or young adults seeking an entry into one of the fields encompassing the production arts. This program will help a student prepare for the more difficult year long hands on courses that lead to OJT and internships in the industry. Not all students who start on this path follow it to entertainment industry careers. This beginners course will help students and parents determine their preparedness for a higher level of training. Those that do finish this course will have a definite advantage in a more advanced program.

In addition I'm on track to offer a six week professional seminar. This course will be a hybrid curriculum combining daily work online and weekend workshops in local Athens venues. Obviously close proximity to Athens will be required for this course.

These courses will be complete and ready for delivery to students this fall. I'm going to push the release date of the grand opening back to September first to give myself the time I need to fully finish this project.
Please contact me if you are interested in the classes or if you just wish to comment. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

If you're in the Athens Georgia area, I'll be giving a free workshop at Musician's Warehouse on Saturday May first. I'll have a registration link here in the near future so check back and register if your a sound engineer or just want to be one!

I've started creating a sample class for you to examine. It's a very simple example with just a few types of learning resources. To avoid being spammed by pr0n-bots I must limit access to humans only . You can still click the log in link and log in as a guest to look but access to interactive areas is restricted

If you would like access to the example class so you can take a closer look and interact with the Moodle interface to post in the forum or take the quiz, you will need to contact me at productioninstitute@gmail.com and I will respond with a log in. Thanks for your interest and happy new year!
