[Bf-education] Bf-education Digest, Vol 96, Issue 30

[avi dey]

Comment from James Halliwell

yes I got my BA free on-line from a site. Might lack credibility.

Conversation:  Very good point. Thank you.

"Free" Online lacks credibility.

"Certification" via a worthy and reputable organization is necessary to
gain credibility with clients and employers, both.

Topic 02: Under such "reputable organization" , there is need to do
"virtual teaming", sometimes with support from clients and potential
employers, to gain experience and "learning by doing".

This element needs some thought and conversation to implement that is "win
win" for all , the student "continued education",  bringing  value to
"certifying organizations' that can include a "local" element such as
public access community tv stations, community colleges and others who are
in this "Blender + Video Animation" arena already .

Makes sense ?
