Hey Zoo, I skimmed through some of your course threads but I'm not still entirely sure how it works or how it would work with me.

I understand that I prepare a step by step learning plan and then stay online for 2 hours to answer any questions and see how people are doing, or do I unveil the step by step in those 2 hours? Also, given the nature of my thread, how would I do it, choose a specific method I haven't yet covered?

You can do it any way you want, but generally when it is my own class I like to show examples AND have students create a specific project that I make a step-by-step guide for.

So, if I were you, I would start by showing some of your (amazing) examples of your work, then I would give students some step-by-step directions for creating some particular photographs or sets of photographs. When I do it, I got to the thread about a half hour before class starts and reserve as many posts in the class thread as you think you might need for your entire lesson. Then I post my lesson (I do it all at once, but some guest professors do some steps and then wait as students are working on those and then post more).

After my entire lesson is posted it is generally class time and I stick around to answer questions while the class is in session (generally two hours). It is USUALLY pretty quiet during the lesson (unless something is really tricky or confusing, then I get questions).

Finally, if I were you, I would give students the link for this thread and assign them to read it for homework and maybe even have them do a specific set of photographs as homework.
