NOTE: Since we are a Cottage Industry, we do not qualify
for grants or endowments that are given to non-profit organizations
and institutions. We are funding the development of the Distance
Learning Project on our own time and financial resources, in
addition to working a full schedule consulting & teaching.
If we get lucky and find the funds required to speed up the Production
Process, the release dates could change and the complete program
would be available much sooner than currently projected.
We already have over 400 hours
of video waiting to be edited for publication. There are just
24 hours in a day! |
