Hi Kathleen,
It is totally online. They send no material. It is text lesson with quite a few demonstration videos with alternative JAWS version for visually impaired students. You download the assignment material for the lesson and save it in Documents; then you import it into your Duxbury 10.5 program. (The 10.5 program which I purchased remained separate from my later 10.6 upgrade, and I kept it in my computer for this class.) Then you do the assignment as instructed at the end of each lesson, save it, and then email it back to the teacher in the body of the email and/or as an attachment.
They have the material scheduled for one assignment a week, but because it is self-paced, I am setting my own schedule. I have spent the last two weeks doing two a week and am finishing up lesson 4 today. The first four lessons seem to have most of the information for literary transcription. I am setting up a home transcription business and still have a lot to do on the business end of it, so from now on I will probably slow down to one lesson a week. There is a deadline for the end of your course so you have to keep that in mind.
I am copying the lessons and quizes and saving them for my future reference. I then edit and bold print the important points in what I saved. From what I have experienced so far with the first four lessons, it is worth the money. As I have stated in a past email posting, I never could have gotten this information on the software just poking around in the help menu.
Don't be sorry for asking a lot of questions. That is what this group is for. I have been so totally ignorant of the software up until now that I am glad I have some answers about something to pass on to someone else.
The best to you,
Sandra

Hello Sandra my name is Kathleen Belinski. I am interested in taking the
course through Carroll on Duxbury. I was wondering if you can tell me how
you do the assignments. Do you do it on line? Or do they send you the
material? I plan on taking the self pace. Also do you send in your work to
them once a week. I am sorry that I am asking a lot of question but I am
only curious. So I will know what to think before I sign up for the class.
Thanks for are your help. Kathleen Belinski
