There are many great courses, many great teachers online - but how many build their courses around a research-backed, digital-age, teaching approach? Activated Academy courses are developed around the teaching approaches (called pedagogies in teacher talk) of the Activated Classroom Teaching (ACT) model. These highly effective approaches, developed by Activated Academy's founder, Dr. Craig Blewett, are the result of years...

That's a good course, It's interesting! I think I can learn to use FCP after study
Teaching in Detail
Too much "open" choices in lessons. Goes to fast. Lacks specifics directions such as "click 'this' icon" or "move 'this' slider." A mouse highlighter would help to focus the learner's attention quickly rather that scanning the whole screen where the pointer is and rewinding if it was missed. Provide fewer clips and number the clips and tell the use to place clips 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, etc. in the timeline. If the user picks poor choices for clips, certain lessons won't have helpful clip examples (see keyframes).
very easy to follow
Just getting started. So far so good.
Quality instruction.
Great knowledge! Clear explanations!
Very good content, it has helped me improve thus far. Only thing is, some areas need more explanation on some of the nuisances of things so. that the student can have. more clarity or understanding. For example: in the Mini challenge, the reason the teach cut the first part of the video wasn't explained thoroughly enough, like what if I didnt cut that part, is there no other way to do it but that way
Great!!!
