TBSVI Short-Term Programs distance learning classes now are available on their TSBVI STPonline YouTube channel. These classes are designed for students, although we ask TVIs to be present to help should any technical issues arise. Short-Term Programs typically puts these videos in Google Classroom, so they can facilitate the class with questions/comments. To get these classes out to the wider community, we organized each class as a YouTube playlist, so they are easy to view in the correct order. Have at 'em! (Disclaimer: some of these were created two years ago and may need slight updates.)
