Hamvention 2024 is in the rearview mirror, and we had a terrific show! This was our first time back at Hamvention after an 11-year hiatus, and we had a blast helping loads of new friends get started earning or upgrading their licenses.
Thanks to all of you who stopped by to chat or snag one of our new online courses or one of our study guide books. We really enjoyed tagging up with some of our recent successful students and meeting them in person.
We also look forward to working with the organization reps and individual instructors we met who are interested in running a license class or two in the near future using our easy-to-implement Instructor Resources or online courses. The response to our new approach to offering group classes with our online courses was tremendous - students study asynchronously according to their own schedules using our online course as the primary study content. Instructors provide pacing of lesson coverage to keep the group progressing together, and they add their own Elmering, demonstrations, review sessions, and Q&A exercises. It makes standing up a class offering remarkably easy, removing the substantial instructor burden of preparing and presenting lessons live. Our trials of this new approach with our local club in Colorado were amazingly successful, and we'll be blogging about that experience soon.
Visitors also seemed to enjoy hearing about our new online courses for individual license exam preparation. The courses include a digital 'ebook' of our popular study guides (full color), video instruction hosted by Stu WØSTU, exam content review, quizzes, practice exams, optional depth media, and more. If you weren't able to make Hamvention for our personal tour through our online courses, check out our 4-minute video overview on our course description pages:
We're looking into additional show opportunities for the future, so perhaps we'll be in your neighborhood soon. Check back here and we'll be sure to let you know where we're headed.
Thanks to the Dayton Hamvention group for putting on an outstanding show this year. We'll look forward to our next visit!
