What if I'm not able to attend the live Zoom Session?

Although we do recommend attending the live Zoom Sessions to get the most out of this Virtual Academy, we do understand the how busy your schedule is - some students are in different time zones and others work different shifts. Should you be unable to attend live, the replay link will be posted within 24 hours after the live Zoom Session ends. You can watch the replay and catch up on any content you missed during the week.

Please expect that if you do not attend the live Zoom sessions, there will be homework you will have to submit which will replace the interactive projects and exercises that happened during the live session.

How long with the replay videos be available?

The replays will be available throughout the six weeks until the Virtual Academy closes. Feel free to go back and re-watch any information you need to while the academy is going on!
