Screen Time In the New Year
==================================================

Today, I finally completed my first asynchronous course.  I've been 
delivering continuting education, corporate training, and university 
courses for eight years now, and I finally have my first asynchronous 
course... well, almost, the course is under review at Udemy, but I don't 
foresee any major obstacles.

It has been a long road to get to this point.  I first proposed 
asynchronous learning to USF Polytechnic, when there was such a thing 
before it was split off from the University of South Florida and became 
the stand-alone Florida Polytechnic University.  The request didn't fall 
on deaf ears, but there was a major wave of turn-over, then the transition 
out of the USF system.  That transition, in turn, created a massive second 
wave of turn-over.

I then began working with Polk State College, and delivered many informal 
proposals for asynchronous corporate training along with one very formal 
proposal at the request of the former Director of the PSC Corporate 
College.  I've proposed the topic to Florida Polytechnic once its team 
stabalized, and I've made my desire to see growth in the field known to 
the head of Full Sail University's former corporate training concern: DC3 
Education.  Full Sail is the university where I teach full-time, and I've 
even done direct work for the VP in charge of the former DC3 Education.

Nobody has ever been willing to devote the time or resources necessary to 
bring the prospect of asynchronous training to light.

For that reason, I've tasked my own business, RCR Business Ventures, with 
making it happen.  RCR is launching A.B. Gamma as a training endeavour and 
it will subsequently feature the ChaseRaz line of training and consulting.

Again, my first course is currently under review, and I expect that the 
course will be launched sometime in the first week of January.

Wish me luck and much prosperity (and influence!) in the new year.
