With the work space for this course being online this offers a host of benefits over the traditional workbooks and portfolios that have been used for years.
One of these is that we can look at each other's work and provide them with our feedback concerning their photographs and written content. Sometimes this feedback can be very useful because it is from someone else, who is studying with us, who may feel that something is missing from our work, where because we ourselves are so close to our work, we sometimes miss things out or go off on a tangent away from what we are trying so say.
Feedback can often bring praise from others who see things in our work that we have not seen ourselves. For example some of the feedback that I have received about my final images have made me feel a little happier about some of my images. Sometimes it can re-affirm some of my doubts over a particular image and give me an opportunity to re-assess my final line up of images.
With the work online we can receive this feedback, almost immediately, whilst on the course and decide if we are right in the direction that we are travelling in and make changes if necessary, rather than finding out too late.
Working with fellow photographers like this we can all learn from each other, as well as the tutors, and share our thoughts and options.
In fact, this format is so accessible that this post on the blog was actually wrote on a mobile phone !
