It is the ideal way to learn in a classroom and costs about half as much.
A Live Learning class is a blended solution comprised of multiple online classroom sessions, a recorded version of the class, lab simulations and practice exams (where applicable), mentoring support, and other online ready-reference materials. All live classes feature an expert team of certified, experienced instructors and mentors that deliver compelling learning during conveniently scheduled class times. Live Learning leverages the advantages of expert-led training with the efficiencies and scalability of e-learning, providing a superior learning experience.

In Live Learning classes, traditional 5-day instructor-led technical classes are instead taught in six 3-hour sessions, 2 per week for 3 running weeks. Live class sessions are typically scheduled in a college-style Mon-Wed, or Tue-Thur format over the course of the 3 weeks. All classes currently have either a morning or an afternoon start time, at 11am or 3pm US Eastern time respectively. Most Live classes are offered once per quarter; however there are a few classes that run more frequently. All Live classes include a bundled Encore (recording of the live session) version. Many classes are available in Encore (recording of the live session) format only.

The Deminar is an 11-minute demos describing some of the characteristics of the Live Learning presentations. Participants will sample this dynamic, online classroom delivered live to the desktop or laptop via the Internet.
Understanding how to use the interface
This is the interface used during the Live Learning sessions. If two different people login at the same time, both will be in the training session. The Interface doesn't actually do anything, it just allows students to click around to see how it works.
Key Benefits
Better retention - Live Classes are team-taught with real-world scenarios and interactive content that engages learners and increases the likelihood that they'll retain what they've learned.
Reduced time in training - Live classes are designed to deliver more information in less time by eliminating overlap between sections, and incorporating more hands-on simulations and real-world scenarios rather than straight lecture.
Flexible Scheduling - Most Live Learning courses contain six three-hour classroom sessions that are held twice a week for three weeks – an adult-learning format that is easily digestible with less time away from work or home.
Reduced training costs - Live classes typically cost 40-60% less than the traditional classroom equivalent.
