Educational Content

00:09
Welcome, everybody. So this walkthrough is just going to go over the educational content that we offer on the website, which is our courses and lessons. So you can reach that by going to Education in the main navigation, clicking that link for courses and lessons. And you'll be brought to this page, which will show you a list of the courses that we have. So you've got the courses over here in the side navigation. You'll see little icons like this actually are for helping you track your progress.

00:37
We'll go over that later. And you can also see the list of courses down here. So if you come down, you can look at a little bit of information about each course. These icons here are for access restrictions. So in order to see certain courses, you will have to be a certain type of membership. In addition to that, we also have some educational webinars, which I'll go over separately, but there's a link to that here and there.

01:05
Those are long-form in-person events that we held. So those are in the events section. And while it's not one of our courses, we do highly recommend Jurisdictionary. Jurisdictionary is a great resource for people trying to learn to self-litigate. So in addition to our material, we suggest people use Jurisdictionary. We couldn't do better than it. It's made by an attorney that knows what he's talking about. So you'll see links to Jurisdictionary for people that are interested in that.

01:38
For our courses, we do put them in a suggested order. The order is really most important if you don't know what you're looking for and you just want to go through everything. If there's something that you really want to know, there's really no risk in jumping around. So if your interest is PMAs, common law trusts, you can jump there. However, we do suggest at least that you start with the website walkthrough and tutorials. Hey, you're there, you're doing it. And also legal name and rights.

02:05
These two are pretty foundational just to understanding the website and how the philosophy of the fellowship operates in regards to those things. So we would suggest starting there. However, for this example, we're just going to jump right to affidavits and declarations because it's a good one to go over. So on an individual course page, usually you'll have a video at the top like this that will have a preview talking about what the course is about.

02:32
In the sidebar, you see that you can have your navigation for courses, so you can jump to any courses that way. You also see navigation for lessons. So these are the lessons in this course. This is for tracking your progress. That green check means that I've completed that lesson. If you scroll down, you'll see some information about the course itself, and then you'll just see also the list down here of the lessons. So you can see these.

02:58
There will sometimes be more of a description about the lesson there, and you can also see these icons here for what type of access is required. For our courses, we also do have related content. So we will do this for all sorts of content. I'll go over this separately in a different tutorial, but for courses, we do have quite a bit of things that are related. Usually, we'll try to tag those. So here you can see we've got some documents, articles, and an FAQ related to our course here on affidavits and declarations.

03:30
For an example of a course, let's go to drafting affidavits and declarations. So like a lot of the other content on our site, we have featured videos for our lessons. The lessons are mostly in video format. You can see this one's 15 minutes. A lot of them are quite a bit shorter. Here we do have the transcript written out just below it. So you can come down here, read whatever content is there, and then when you get to the bottom here, for some of the courses, you will be able to comment on them, some of the lessons here.

04:04
So this tutorial actually is one that you can watch this one if you're not a member. So there's a chance that you'll come here and you see that you can't comment. But for anything else that requires you to be a member, members can always comment right here. And this actually goes into our community forum. You can go into the community forum and comment there as well. It's all hooked up. In our sidebar here, you can continue to navigate between your courses and your lessons. And here you can see we have related content on the lessons as well.

04:31
And what this is, this is to track your progress. So this will actually track along with the video. Here we've got two different ones. This is because the video tracks separately. We track our media separately from the content, but it'll keep that in sync for you. But keeping track of your progress is probably the most useful when it comes to the educational content. So you can track your progress there. And you can also take notes. So you can come in here and write notes to help you on your journey, save them that way, and then you can do that.

05:02
So this can all help you with your education. Let's go look at one other course and lesson too. So here we've got the Church 508 Q&A, but I just want to show you another lesson because we do have different formats. So here you can see we've got the video at the top again. Here we have the transcript for the video, so you can use this button to read the transcript. Sometimes our transcripts are tracked like that. Here you can see the comments again.

05:27
And sometimes we have lesson resources that are linked like this. Sometimes we'll have plain links for you. But when we do have links like this, this is actually to PDFs and videos that are sometimes in our media library. This one is actually to one of the seminars we had. This is an event. So we try to give you as much additional resources as possible. Let's see how long this one is. Okay, so this is another one that's nine minutes. So some of these lessons might be only three, four minutes, but it is helpful and important that you look at these resources.

06:01
So here you can find a list of resources. You can use this navigation under here to switch between it, and you can see actually for this course, we have the same suggested resources for each lesson. So these are more resources for the course, but you can also use those. See, there's a four-minute one. So reading the additional materials, reading the related content, it all goes together with the courses and lessons. It helps you get the full picture of what we do.

06:27
The courses and lessons are for the foundational information, and then we have these extra PDFs, we have the community forum, and all these things, ways that we can collaborate and learn on top of that. And last but not least, let's really just touch quickly on our educational webinars. So you have these buttons for the educational webinars. Like I said, they're not considered courses and lessons.

06:53
They're actually events that we held. They are supplemental. These were seven multi-day, multi-hour events. So yeah, here it's 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. So you can come here. These require a contribution in addition to being a member. So you can also just look at the comments on that. We have two seminars up here. Maybe there can be opportunities for more in the future, but this kind of wraps up everything on the educational content.

07:24
So thanks for sticking around for this tutorial. I hope this helps you get acquainted with the educational content that we have and how you can get the most out of it.
