If you are hesitant to try an online lecture, don't be! The programs are accessible, enlightening, and engaging. You will definitely learn something new, and if you're like me, you'll be inspired to do your own further research on the topics presented. Thank you, Road Scholar!

Every online class I've taken from Road Scholar - whether one-hour or multi-day - has been excellent. Speakers, content, and quality of the video and presentations has been consistently superb. I've learned so much this year, and look forward to learning and experiencing even more next year!

As an architect I highly recommend this presentation about the design, construction, politics and funding of the bridge, all given without using technical jargon.
