Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters
Course Description

Kyra:
"The instructors were very encouraging and helpful... it was great to have them look over the assignments with so much attention to detail!"

Rita Kuhn:
"I thought the lesson were fantastic and packed with so much information. Kat and Frieda really went all out in helping us along giving very detailed explanations...sometimes writing novels. LOL I can't wait for the next class to begin."

Maria:
"That i can use Flash CS3 within a short time. The lessons were excellent and i really appreciate the assistance of my teacher!!"

Tina:
"Kat & Frieda displayed professionalism while providing encouragement, following through on every question with endless patience

"The lessons were extremely clear, step by step instructions were superb.

"I enjoyed this class so much I did not want it to be over"

Suzanne Nunn:
"I really enjoyed learning Flash, but I was most impressed by all the attention, the clearly written lessons, and the feedback I received from the instructors."

John:
"2 things. The step by step detail in the writing of the course and the step by step detail in the review of homework. (This) makes all the difference in the world. A lot of work for you, I'm sure, but very helpful to us who are newbies to the program! I've had other online learning experiences where you had to fill in some blanks yourself. That can make the experience too time consuming. None of the 3 courses I've taken here had that problem, however. Please keep up the strict attention to details. LVS rocks!"

Jerry Bergen:
"Kat was very helpful and I think IM getting the basic skills that I would not have learned doing tutorials. I found that by learning the basics first will help me when I start getting into more advanced projects."

Tammy Grossbauer:
"The beginning of the class started out by introducing all the tools and panels along with exercises for them, so when the assignments started I didn't get confused."

Alexander:
Liked best about class: "The good quality of the material and instruction."

Katrina Haney:
"The step by step process used in this course made it very easy to learn. I have tried learning from tutorials and other course type files,but found them confusing. This course made it much easier. I look forward to continuing."

Lori:
Liked best about class: "The guidance when I needed it, but mostly being able to work independently at my own pace and depth with the confidence that I had expert teachers available to me. "

Peggy:
Liked best about class: "Easy to follow instructions- fast responses when in need of help - knowledgable instructors - challenging lesson plans. "

Sheena Sivaprasad:
Liked best about class: "The patient, wonderful, pleasant and encouraging mentality of Kat and Frieda though they had every reason to throw me out for my immaculate organisation skills. Also the way the lessons were laid out and well explained. "

Adele Aldridge:
Liked best about class: "Very well organized. Excellent information and attention to detail. Excellent instructors. "

Kathy Shields:
Liked best about class: "The teachers respond quickly, supportively and with excellent, clear, advice. They included very useful examples and tools I will be able to apply to my work. "

Garth L. Andries:
"Discovering aspects of flash that I had not even realised. So much better than trying to learn from a book. The tutoring was brilliant. I am so impressed that I intend to continue with these classes in Flash until I have completed all of them. "

David:
"In the past I had tried to learn Flash from books that I checked out of the library. That didn't work for me but this class did. It was structured in a way that made it easy to get started and not be overwhelmed by the all the different parts of the program."

Sherry:
"The step by step instructions are very clear and went well beyond my expectations. I love this class! Can't wait for the next one to start."

Patricia Woolf:
"Kate and Frieda are exceptionally patient with my numerous questions. Their extremely detailed answers are always the guide I need. Without their quick responses this course would be too overwhelming for the neophyte."

Debbie:
"Kat and Frieda were superb!!! They were very helpful in answering all questions. The lessons were clear and easy to follow. Flash is a rather complicated tool to learn but they took us through it step by step."

Rhonda:
"I liked everything about the class, but I think the best part was the thouroughness and experience of the instructors. Each class was explained very clearly and "why" was always answered before I could even ask the question. Even when I did have a question, all questions that did arise where answered clearly and until I understood completely."

Kathy:
"The lesson plans were so thorough and well thought out that it seemed easy to become productive. As for the content, I liked that there was attention paid to performance, in keeping file sizes down. And I also liked the detailed feedback we received on our assignments from both Kat and Frieda. What a great class!"

Debbie:
"I really enjoyed the class and learned many valuable techniques in Flash. The hands-on exercises with feedback from the instructors was very helpful."

Yoko:
"Best class on the net for lead us to understand basic functions and concept for the Flash creations."

Viv:
"Very much more in-depth for an introductory class than I anticipated, I learned a lot more than I thought I would."

Randy:
"I liked how the class was structured, and the great attitude towards the students."

Ann:
"Lessons are clearly presented and could be completed at my own pace."

Gilberto:
"Although I found the material kind of complex to grasp, Frieda through her comments really made me feel capable of finishing the assignments."

Dave:
"The lessons were easy to follow and well thought through and nicely progressive. The teachers were very helpful and very good."

Yvonne:
"Very organized. Went step by step unlike a lot of the books on Flash."

Monika North:
"The whole experience, from the time I signed on to the end. Lvs has made the courses very enjoyable. The fact that the students and teachers go along with each other and the turn outs of each assignment was and is an acheivement. Thanks for the time spent."

"The teachers respond quickly, supportively and with excellent, clear, advice. They included very useful examples and tools I will be able to apply to my work. I wouldn't add a thing."

Lori:
"The lesson packets were designed to really be self-explanatory. This is my second in the Flash MX 2004 series and I didn't need to ask a single clarifying question. That's impressive!!! And the discussion board was great, as I had many of the same folks continuing the course with me - and they were so supportive."

Neta:
"Very informative, easy to follow lessons, good resposes from instructors always."

Kabby:
"As with the beginners class, I was very impressed with the lessons. Short of a small spot where I got lost on the actionscript (my fault entirely) I don't know that the content could have been explained better."

Flash MX2004/ 8/ CS3 ~ Advanced
Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters

Julie:
"This is my 3rd class with Kat as the instructor. Her lessons are informative and the step by step instructions couldn't be any easier. Kat takes the time to help you understand what you've done wrong and how to correct the mistakes."

Anita:
"Everything explained in a concise and organized manner."

Flash FX
Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters

Diane:
"Becky and Kat make the class a lot of fun and include great effects with excellent lesson format. I learned a LOT in this class and have a lot of fun with it."

Nancy Flom:
"Finally getting things to work! It was very rewarding to get things right, like sound and Javascript. It was also challenging and a lot of good material was covered. I'm taking the next Flash class in March."

Chrissy:
"The teachers were very helpful, the material was very well written and easy to understand."

Ann:
"Nice variety of effects including some of the most fun ones for cards such as fireworks and nice strobe text effect"

Lisa:
"There's such a variety of clean, quick, to-the-point effects in this class! Everything is presented well and made easy to understand -- and some exercises have lots of options included for altering the effect that's being presented. Kat and Becky remain the super teachers that they are, and I'm grateful to both for all their hard work in putting this material together."

Cassandra:
"Many of the effects are transferable to current projects so there is a real life benefit to me. I liked having all the lessons available so I could work at my own speed."

Sherry:
"Fantastic step by step instructions to guide you through every exercise."

Suzanne:
"The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. This was a fun class!"

Fernado:
"These FX courses has been very practical and entertaining at the same time. I can easily use them in any project and right now I am changing the Christmas eCard for this holiday season and sending it to my friends. Kat and Frieda have been very helpful in all the lessons. Can't wait for a part 3, of this course. Please keep me updated on any new Flash courses."

Flash MX Intro
Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters

Anita:
"Learned all kinds of things I'd never have thought of."

Joyce:
"The speed in which the facilitators responded to questions. The information. Great Class!!"

John Frenzel:
"This class is intense, but it really does a great job of bringing a novice flash user up to speed quickly. Very well written lesson plans."

Pat Bowman:
"I was excited to start learning about Flash, and the lessons were very detailed. I think I got a big return on my investment!"

Dani:
"Easy to follow, well thought out lesson plans, delivered by instructors who not only know the topics well, but have no problem helping out with direction, and just plain old encouragement. =)"

FlashMX Level II
Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters

Deborah Hoffman:
"So VERY much information and well explained. The examples are excellent!"

Mari-Anne Ennor:
"I love the fact that lengthy explanations are kept to a minimum. Instead, you provide plenty of hands-on exercises where you place the explanations so they can be viewed while the students are actually using the tools. I don't mean you don't have long explanations - just that they are well-placed within the exercises instead of prior to them.

Also, the material you are covering is so very suitable for each level, and you do a very thorough job of teaching the various topics.

Your instructions are also very thorough and appear well tested.

I also like the way you have the students work through a topic, and then give assignments designed to use these newly acquired skills."

Scott Hopkins:
"I absolutely LOVE the one-on-one attention given to each student. For the price of the classes I cant imagine you can find a better value anywhere."

FlashMX Level III
Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters

Shoofly:
" What a great class. The more I learn about Flash the more I love it. Good fun!"

Cy:
"This was a very hard, but good course. Looking forward to Flash AS."

Flash AS I
Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters

Debbie:
"There was a lot of information to read, but I really loved the class. the exercises each week were a quick way to get a grasp on what was being taught. The breakdown of the action script in 'plain language' was a huge help in understanding what exactly I was doing. I also liked that the lessons were for 2 weeks with examples and tips in between."

Lisa Siegel:
"Becky is a fine teacher and the lessons are very well prepared. I love Flash animation and I have learned a lot from LVS classes."

Sunny:
"Becky is fantastic and there to help all the time, and is always upbeat and encouraging."

Brian:
"Completely awesome...thank you Becky!"

Flash AS II
Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters

Richard:
"Two things -

1. I am very impressed that the examples, lessons, assignments are VERY complete. Not only are they given out in many formats, but the text shows screen shots, usually a description, then examples and explanations. Then the fla are presented in an easy to understand format.

2. The way Becky replies to questions still makes you think and usually hunt for the answer, but that is much better than being spoon fed.

I've posted your lvs link on a forum where I moderate and have recommended it several times to posters. I'm very impressed with the class! The way Becky has laid out the lessons, you end up with a fat book full of examples for $20! and your own homework which becomes a "memory jog" for future projects. I was always afraid of action script, but Becky has knocked down those fears, now I'm a AS junkie."

Terry:
"Overall I found this to be an excellent and very challenging course.
* The course had an accurate agenda which were closely followed.
* The pace of the course was challenging but not excessively so.
* The assignments followed the syllabus.
* I feel confident that this course was very useful to me.
* Excellent instructor support. Becky was always available and promptly responded to any problems that I ran into.

Thanks, Becky"

Flash 5
Instructors: Kathy Clark & Becky Peters

Jude:
"The interactivity between the students and instructor and the help was great. The class content was very informative and a good learning experience. I would takeanother Flash course if it is offered."

Jennifer Leet:
"Once again it is the great lessons and the awesome teachers. They go beyond expectations to help you really understand the lessons. They are amazing!!!

Janna:
"Everything, I got a lot of useful techniques out of this class. I'm glad I got the chance to take it."
