What a live course looks like from this studio

You teach. The studio turns it into a program. Your learners get a class that holds attention from the first minute, wherever they are watching from.

How a live course comes together

  1. Plan the sessionA producer builds the run of show with you: segments, slides, polls, breakouts, who appears when. Course Planner can draft the lesson structure and slides if you are starting from scratch.
  2. Rehearse, then go liveYou walk the stage once with the technicians before the real thing. On the day, the studio handles cameras, audio, graphics and the platform. You handle the teaching.
  3. Keep itThe session is recorded as a clean program. Turn it into an on-demand course, a replay for the people who missed it, or the first module of a program.

What a produced live course gives you back

  • One session, two products. The live class your learners attend, and a recording you can offer as an on-demand course afterwards.
  • Learners who stay to the end. Switched cameras, a visible audience and real interaction hold attention in a way a webcam lecture never has.
  • Nothing for you to run. No fighting the platform, no watching the chat, no wondering if the slides advanced. Technicians do that; you teach.
  • A course that looks like your reputation. What a learner sees on screen is what they believe about the program behind it.

Questions producers hear most

What platform do live courses run on?
Whatever your learners already use. Most of our live courses go out over Zoom, and the studio feeds a broadcast-quality program (switched cameras, slides, lower thirds, the audience wall) into it as one clean picture. Teams, Webex, LinkedIn Live and streaming platforms work too.
Where are the students?
Online, and on the wall in front of you. The audience wall puts your live participants on camera in the studio, so you teach to faces instead of a lens. UNC Kenan-Flagler has taught its live courses here that way for five years.
How many people can join?
The audience wall shows dozens of live participants on camera at once, and the platform carries the rest. Live courses produced here have run from small cohorts to sessions with hundreds of online students.
Do we get a recording?
Yes. Every live course is recorded as a clean program feed. Many clients turn the recording into an on-demand course, so the one session they taught becomes a product they can offer again. See the on-demand course page for how that works.
What does the instructor need to bring?
The content and themselves. Slides go on the teleprompter and the stage screens, a producer builds the run of show with you, and the studio technicians handle cameras, audio, graphics and the platform. Most instructors need one rehearsal.
How is a live course priced?
By studio time, with production included. Instant Pricing on this site builds a quote from your session length and format in about two minutes, and a producer confirms it with you.
