New and Improved, with you in mind! I love my classes, and I’ve done them the same way online since the early 2000s. Time for a change.
What Will Change?
New and improved is primarily in the delivery. The material presented will be the same, but new and improved, in a more user friendly format. I’ll be incorporating things that have changed in my methodology over the past couple of years, and adding other segments as the year moves ahead. I have always believed that the real differentiating component of what I teach is me, but it turns out that learners are fine with a mostly digital me. I will make myself available either through Slack and/or Live Labs to answer questions and build on concepts.
Logistics always almost do me in, so I’ll try to keep it simple. I will continue to use Teachable because I know how to do it. My big adventure is going to be grappling with short delivery. Easier said than done for a long-form person.

A System of Grading
I am redoing all of my online content, starting with A System of Grading. It will still have all the content, but in small bites, a little more directed learning, and milestones to see and reach. Classes will be available to purchase a la carte (just buy what you need or want) or as a package. I will give prerequisites as needed so you don’t get ahead of yourself.
I have to sort this out and get product pages up for each section, so I need until May 15 to get this released.
Additions to A System of Grading
I have been wanting to add on Sections to this course, but some of them will also be useful to those from a design perspective.
New Sections for Grading will include:
- Dive Into Sleeves
- One-piece Garments (kimono, dolman, dresses, ??)
- Circular Yokes

Hi Jill,
I’m very interested intaking this part of the ASOG ADDITIONS TO A SYSTEM OF GRADING. Has it already happened??
Those sessions will be beginning in the Fall, and be offered into 2023. Thanks for asking Maureen.
